Method
This node extrudes the faces of a mesh and generates additional adjacent polygons to connect the extruded faces. This deformer generates new polygons – so using it with meshes with high polygon counts may substantially impact performance.
Transform
Name |
Description |
---|
Position X |
Move its position along the x-axis in local space. |
Position Y |
Move its position along the y-axis in local space. |
Position Z |
Move its position along the z-axis in local space. |
Rotation Heading |
Rotate the object about the y-axis. |
Rotation Pitch |
Rotate the object about the x-axis. |
Rotation Bank |
Rotate the object about the z-axis. |
Scale X |
Scale along the x-axis. |
Scale Y |
Scale along the y-axis. |
Scale Z |
Scale along the z-axis. |
Inherit Transform Channels
Toggle which transform channels should be inherited. By default, all are on.

Subdivision Order |
Toggle whether the deformer is added before or after the object is subdivided. |
Subdivision Level |
The subdivision level at which the deformer is applied. |
Vertex Source Mode |
How vertexes are selected to be used by the deformer.
- Vertex Positions, Vertexes are chosen based on their positions in the scene.
- Chunks, Vertexes are chosen based on the enclosed section of the mesh they are used.
|
Polygon Contraction |
How much each face should contract inwards towards its centre. |
Offset By Normals |
How much each face should be offset from the surface, in the direction of the face normal. |
Falloff
Name |
Description |
---|
Falloff Enabled |
Enable falloff from the position of the deformer. |
Falloff Shape |
Select which shape to use to draw falloff from.
- Sphere, Falloff is drawn outward from a central point, forming a spherical falloff.
- Cylinder – X/Y/Z, Falloff is drawn outward from a line, forming a cylindrical falloff.
- Plane – X/Y/Z, Falloff is drawn outward from a plane.
|
Falloff Range |
Limits the range the deformer is effective at. |
Falloff Inner Range |
The inner range from which the falloff is calculated from. |
Falloff Curve Power |
How quickly the falloff drops to 0 at the outer falloff. |
Invert Falloff |
Invert the direction of the falloff. |
Falloff Curve |
Visualises the falloff curve, from being completely in effective to not at all. |
