That is a very useful tool. I had to be careful, though, since I used it with a tree. You have to make sure you have all the branches on the limb you are working with selected or they get left out away from the tree.

Still not a great tree but here it is:

I did a little texturing in the shader editor to make it look just a little more realistic.

I went experimental as Michael adviced
Here is my Orb-Tree:

That is pretty awesome. Mind If I feature that in the next update of the course trailer?

It would be a honor Michael

Simple, twisted, sub-surfaced grass.

Did a bit of work on my Tree

Nature abhors a straight line

bending tool worked ok but suddenly shift scroll does hardly move forward to the object ? when i move away from the edibale object the steps get bigger again like wtf makes editing impossible. Is that a blender bug or feature?

Tried it on my cactus - Bend Angle is fun to play with.

I just bent down my plant and randomized it a bit. For me the randomizing part is the most effectful, as it helps to make an object that much more natural.

gave my grass a bit of a bend. this is hard to do in large scenes I find it so best to do before placing objects in scenes. (just cos moving the 3d cursor around in a scene like this is a nightmare.)

You can always use isolation mode. / on the numberpad. Isolate only the grass in the viewport while you play with it. Repeat press to remove from mode.
