> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Twist node asset** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It rotates geometry progressively around a central axis like the Twist deformer — available as a node for procedural modeling and animation.

This Node can be used to twist elements or points of a given geometry around a central axis. The effect reflects that of the [Twist](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/OTWIST.html.md) Deformer.
