Hi everyone,
I wanted to call attention to a function of the Extrude-old I find missing in the new polyextrude. Basically the ability to assign a curve profile to shape the bevel.
I've used the previous extrude in order to create this tool for a quick and dirty set up for text and shapes for motion graphics:

The tool is open so you can go ahead download it and inspect its content.
I was in the process of updating this tool when I realized that if eventually the old extrude gets deprecated it would be nice to have an alternative. Any suggestions?
Extrude_OLD and PolyExtrude

EnivobThe second input of the polyextrude is different from the extrude-old. The extrude-old uses the curve to profile the bevel while the polyextrude uses the second input as a rail extrude. Both functions are nice but diferent.
Did you try Curve From Second Input option? You have to also increase the Division count or you see no effect.
