Abstract
Methods and apparatus for generating curved extrusions. A user interface may be provided via which the value of one or more extrusion parameters and/or a reference point may be changed. The extrusion parameters may include a depth parameter that controls the amount of extrusion, an X angle parameter that controls the angle of bend in the X direction, a Y angle parameter that controls the angle of bend in the Y direction, a scale parameter that controls the scale factor, and a twist parameter that controls the angle of extrusion twist. A weight function for changing one or more of the extrusion parameters non-uniformly along the sweep path may also be provided. An extrusion may be generated from an initial 2D object according to the set of extrusion parameters and the reference point.
