# Smoothing Deformer

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Smoothing deformer** in **Cinema 4D**. It relaxes surfaces procedurally — like a persistent smooth brush — and can even mimic cloth-like draping, which helps when modeling garments and softened shapes non-destructively.

Use this deformer to smooth a surface. It can work similarly to the [Brush](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/TOOLBRUSH.html.md) in Smooth mode or also make the mesh behave like a piece of clothing.

This gives you a lot of flexibility when modeling, especially when creating garments that are difficult to model with the standard modeling tools.
