      I've made a little tutorial that shows how I would use the follow me tool to create this kind of shape. The dimmensions are nowhere near what those of the actual phone are. I am trying to explain the technique.

      Now I just have to figure out how to upload the clip 😳

      If you don't know where you're going, you're never going to get there.

        Even though I'm not the one that started this topic, I would be interested in learning more about how to use the follow me tool to make this. I had given the follow me some thought while I was trying to work out a solution for the original post, but I don't have the expertise the two of you do. Looking forward to the lesson

        Don't worry about things you have no control over. Worry is a lack of Faith!

                  OK, I couldn't figure out how to upload and attach the video tutorial I made with Camtasia so I decided to upload it the old fashioned way.
                  Hope you find it useful.

                    scene 7.jpg

                    I think I first saw this technique in one of Jean's tutorials, or maybe Eric's.
                    I'm gratefull to hwo-ever it was as I use this technique often.

                        I had to laugh, as soon as I saw your first image Gidon I thought of a dancing domino with no spots πŸ˜† Nice tut.
