Expression 3.2 bitmap warp mesh. There is a capability to increase the nodes. You can also do vector warping. Expression doesn't do molding, and I made the template in Xara. I saved the Xara drawing to EPS and opened it in Expression. The drawing was placed on a separate layer and locked. The image was inserted into Expression and defined as a warp group. I used a node tool to manually position the nodes.

I made a few tree strokes using a method similar to the cylinder at one time.

Expression does vector warping, too.
