Surface Deformer
What is it about?
This page describes the Surface deformer in Cinema 4D. It glues geometry to the deforming surface of another object — a patch following simulated cloth, buttons on a shirt — without joining the simulation itself.
Using this deformer, an object surface can follow the surface deformation of another object. One application would be, for example, a patch on a piece of fabric, which in turn is deformed by a Cloth Tag. The patch can then follow the cloth deformation using the deformer without actually being part of the cloth simulation itself.
