• The Extrude tool is an extremely powerful and simple tool for adding additional geometry. • To create a cluster of additional geometry on a small portion of the surface, select a patch of polygons and then do an extrusion of length 0%, perhaps several times. Then smooth the result and see how result is different from simply subdividing the same patch. Left: Three extrusions and smoothed the result. Right: one subdivision.
