# Point Cache

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **Point Cache deformer** in **Cinema 4D**. It replays point animations recorded in a Point Cache tag as a deformer layer — combinable with Fields to blend or restrict the cached motion spatially.

The sole purpose of this deformer is to transfer animations recorded with the **Point Cache Tag** to an object using the deformer instead of doing this directly. For more information, please refer to the [Point Cache Tag](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/TCAGEOMCACHE.html.md).

# Example

In the following example, a Point Cache deformer acts on a clone conglomerate. A Box Field and a Linear Field limit the effect. On the left you can see the deformation without fields.
