> This page documents the **Pinch brush** for sculpting in **Cinema 4D**. It draws vertices toward the stroke center, sharpening soft transitions — the standard brush for accentuating edges, ridges and crisp creases.

The **Pinch** brush pulls the mesh vertices beneath the brush together in a direction perpendicular to direction of the stroke and towards the center. This is a good way of accenting edges or creating edges or ridges.
