Hard Padding
Hard Padding will take all of the faces of a mesh and turn them into extruded pads. The shape of the pads will directly match the geometry of the base mesh. This mode will also work perfectly fine on curved surfaces.
Tips and Tricks
Examples are applied to a cube, subdivided by 3 levels.
Triangulation
Before applying the style, there is a checkbox option for 'triangulation'. Because this modify style matches the geometry of the base mesh, triangulating the faces will create 3-sided pads.
Pad Thickness
The thickness of the pads can be adjusted by changing the 'thickness' value of the Solidify modifier.
