# Bulge Object

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Bulge deformer** in **Cinema 4D**. It swells or pinches geometry toward its center with an interactive handle — quick for barrel shapes, squash-and-stretch accents or organic thickening.

The Bulge object widens or narrows the center of the original object. The Bulge object has an orange-colored handle on its upper side. This handle can be used to control it interactively in the editor.
