Shape Extrusion

Use this module to extrude a Shape along a Path, creating a Volume.

• Path - the path to extrude along
• Shape - the cross shape to extrude

• Volume - the resulting volume
• Volume (Hollow) - the resulting hollow volume

Defines the portion of the Path to extrude. For closed paths From will repeat endless, while it's clamped for open paths.

Defines how smooth the extrusion will get. Higher values result in more segments being created.

If enabled, the extrusion will segmented by Path's curvation instead of using a fixed distance.

Only when optimized

Sets the curvation angle after which new segments are being created

Defines the portion of the Cross shape to extrude. For closed shapes From will repeat endless, while it's clamped for open shapes.

Defines how smooth the extrusion will get. Higher values result in more vertices being created.

If enabled, the extrusion will segmented by Shape's curvation instead of using a fixed distance.

Only when optimized

Sets the curvation angle after which new vertices are being created

If enabled, vertices are guaranteed to be created for all the Cross shape's Control Points.

Defines a shift to be applied on the output volume's Cross. This shift is used when interpolating values (position, normal, …) along the volume's surface.

• None - the start of the Shape is used.
• By Orientation - the starting point is shifted to the collision point of the Path's orientation with the cross shape
• Custom - the starting point is shifted by a user defined value

Reverses the normals of the generated Volume. Does not impact Volume Hollow, if any.

Parameters from this section are used to scale the extrusion

Simple mode scales by an arbitrary value, while Advanced mode uses curves.

Determines how to apply the scale:

• Self - the scale is applied over the Path range
• Source - the scale is applied over the total length of the underlying Path

Advanced scale mode only

Scale is applied starting at an offset

If enabled, the same scale is applied to both X and Y axis of the cross Shape vertices

The (base) value to multiply the cross Shape vertices

Advanced scale mode only A scale multiplier. It is expressed as a curve, which X axis is the Relative Distance (between 0 and 1) of a point on the path, and its Y axis is the scale multiplier

A shrinked clone of the resulting volume will be created simultaneous with the “outer” volume. The value defines the percentage the “inner” volume will be shrinked.

Reverses the normals of the hollow volume. Does not impact Volume.
