Twisted Extrude earns its place in the superhive library as a focused extrusion tool for Blender, sitting alongside Kingsnorth's related Bevelled Extrude and ZigZag Extrude add-ons.
Twisted Extrude adds a twisted extrusion to Blender's face-extrusion workflow, letting you build curled geometry like pipes, tendrils, or more abstract forms. The interactive interface works similarly to Blender's standard extrude and to ZigZag Extrude, and a menu lets you adjust the parameters until you are happy with the result.
Controls include rotating the extrusions, tapering the effect, and twisting along the face normal or on local and global coordinates. You can set the number of subdivisions on the sides, extrude faces individually or as a group, and save presets that remember your parameters for next time. The Extrude Individual Faces option produces curved results on shapes such as the Ico Sphere.
The add-on lists Blender version support from 2.8 to 5.2 and is Blender Extension compatible. It is distributed under the GPL license. A demo video is available, and documentation can be found on the developer's page.
Twisted Extrude is best for modeling curled geometry such as pipes, tendrils, and abstract twisted forms in Blender.
Twisted Extrude is completely free to download and use.
Twisted Extrude lists Blender version support ranging from 2.8 through 5.2, and it is marked as Blender Extension compatible. That range spans a wide set of Blender releases, so it fits into both older and more recent setups. Because Blender occasionally changes its add-on and extension systems between releases, it is worth checking the developer's page for the latest confirmed compatibility before installing on your specific version.
Twisted Extrude is listed as free in this catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms and any current pricing can change over time, so the developer's page is the best place to confirm what applies before you download. The GPL license governs how the add-on's code can be used, modified, and shared, which is common for Blender add-ons distributed as extensions.
Twisted Extrude offers multiple options for extruding faces either individually or as a group. Working on faces individually produces curved results on shapes such as the Ico Sphere, while grouping faces gives a different outcome across a selection. This flexibility lets you approach different mesh layouts in the way that suits the geometry you are building, from single-face detail to whole-selection effects.
Twisted Extrude can twist along the face normal or on local and global coordinates, giving control over how the twist is oriented. Alongside the twist, you can rotate the extrusions, taper the effect, and set the number of subdivisions on the sides. Presets save your parameters for next time, and the interactive menu lets you adjust settings until the result matches what you want.
