# Compose Container

> **Note:** **What is it about?**

> This page covers the **Compose Container node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It bundles arrays into a container — for example when building custom distributions inside a Distribution Looping Function.

This Node is the counterpart to the Decompose container Node and allows you to combine different arrays, for example, to define a distribution yourself. In this function, the Node can be used within a Distribution Looping Function, for example.

Here, custom arrays for matrices, colors and indices are combined in a distribution container.
