# MoExtrude

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **MoExtrude deformer** in **Cinema 4D**. It extrudes an object's polygons in multiple steps like Matrix Extrude — but procedurally and Effector-controllable, enabling animated growth spikes and pulsing surface structures.

This Deformer can be used to extrude any number of an object's polygons. Granted, that's nothing new - the [Matrix Extrude](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/TOOLMATRIXEXTRUDE.html.md) function can do the same. What the Matrix Extrude function cannot do is:

- The MoGraph Effectors affect each step of the extrusion (depending on the settings of the **Transformation** mode) as if it were a normal clone, i.e., the complete functionality of the Effectors can be used when extruding!
- Extrusion of Polygons of parametric primitives.
- Extrusion along a spline.
