> This page refers to the legacy **Architectural material** of the Redshift renderer in **Cinema 4D**. It was designed for physically plausible surfaces in architectural visualization; new projects should prefer the Redshift [OpenPBR](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/COM_REDSHIFT3D_REDSHIFT4C4D_NODES_CORE_OPENPBRMATERIAL.html.md) or [Standard](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/COM_REDSHIFT3D_REDSHIFT4C4D_NODES_CORE_STANDARDMATERIAL.html.md) material.
