What is Extrude in Blender?

Extrude in Blender is a modeling operation that extends faces or edges to create new geometry, adding depth and complexity to a shape. This fundamental tool is essential in the 3D modeling process, allowing artists to quickly build up forms from basic shapes by pulling out surfaces to create additional faces, edges, and vertices.

Use Cases in Blender

• Character Modeling: Extrude is frequently used in character modeling to form limbs, horns, or other protruding features by extending the base mesh.

• Architectural Modeling: Architects use the extrude tool to create walls, columns, and other structural elements from a simple floor plan.

• Product Design: In product design, extrude helps create complex shapes from basic profiles, such as turning a 2D outline of a bottle into a full 3D model.
