# Cinema 4D's Bend Deformer handles mirrored bends in one step

By Steven Van · 2026-04-21

The 2026.2 update adds symmetry origin options, so a symmetrical bend no longer needs a second deformer.

Cinema 4D's 2026.2 update reworks the Bend Deformer to handle mirrored bends with a single deformer, instead of stacking two. New symmetry origin options let a bend start from the top, bottom, or centre of an object, so a symmetrical bend no longer needs a duplicate deformer on the opposite side.
