The extrusion generator

- [Instructor] The extrusion generator is…one of my favorites.…It allows you to create a wide variety of organic shapes.…So, I'm already over here on the Featured…Shape Generators menu.…I'll scroll down and find the extrusion generator.…Now, the icon is pretty basic, so it's kind of…easy to overlook.…I'll hit "F" to focus in.…Now, essentially, this is a extrusion of a 2-D shape,…and we have a lot of control over…what that 2-D shape looks like.…We can click and drag on these various handles…to change this outline.…

You can also pull out these handles…to change the shape of the curve.…This feels really similar to a vector program,…like Illustrator, though the behaviors of the handles…aren't exactly the same.…If you want to make a sharp corner, you hold down…the "alt" or "option" key, and then pull on these handles.…I'll continue holding the alt-option key while…I grab the other one.…And if you want to return to that rounded mode,…you can click on and drag any of the handle,…and they'll both pop back.…

We also have the option to snap to the grid.…
