ZigZag Extrude is a modeling tool that generates jagged, stepped extrusion effects directly from selected faces. It supports tris, quads, and n-gons, allowing you to extrude faces either individually or as a combined region. The tool provides parameters to adjust the number of steps, depth, and thickness of the cuts, along with an option to introduce randomized thickness variations.
You can apply taper, translation, and rotation to the extruded shapes to create curved or bent effects, and the tool is fully compatible with Blender's proportional editing. Built-in beveling options let you smooth the insides and corners of the steps, making it suitable for generating ribbed pipes, architectural steps, or abstract geometry. It can also be paired with Blender's Path Deform modifier for intricate path-based pipe creation.
