I am a pretty good artist if I may say so myself, but that does help you draw quite an exceptional tree just with a pencil and paper also. Awesome.

Good to see that you have actually grasped the concept behind this tutorial and not just used it as a step by step manual. Hey peileppe, your adaptation has come out great!

And you can use that to 'manually' move vertices to where you want. The 'pattern along path' option though, is a lazy approach. You can just use a single line as guide for the distortion, and have any other shape distort according to it. Again - thanks for dropping by. I appreciate the input. Andrzej, thanks for clarifying that. :)

And voila.

I do not have a copy of it. I have a faint memory that it has "text along path" options when I used it long time back. But I am not sure of the exact command for it.
