Twist Object

What is it about?

This page covers the Twist deformer in Cinema 4D. It rotates geometry progressively around its Y-axis with an interactive handle — for drills, twisted columns, licorice shapes and screwing animations.

The rotate object is used to rotate objects around the Y-axis of the Twist object. It has an orange-colored handle on the top. This handle can be used to control the Twist object interactively in the editor.

Note Themore you twist an object, the more subdivisions the twisted object needs.
