# Smooth Minimum

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Smooth Minimum node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It blends between two values with adjustable smoothing instead of a hard minimum — the classic trick for organic transitions in procedural math.

This Node evens out the differences between the input values a and b. The intensity of the smoothing can be defined using the k setting.
