Yes - the point is I need to model a lot of branches with shapes defined by me, which is why I dont go for a plant modeling tool. So it will save me quite some time not having to do cylinders, taper, deform and fit.

I normally extrude my object and taper it and then deform to curve. But I'm guessing you were trying to avoid that step.

Do any of you know if there is a way to taper the radius of a circle extruded along a curve using the extrusion tool?
I know there are workarounds but they require more manual work, so if there is a way to set start and end radius it would just be great.

Can't check right now, but don't you have the option to SRT the circle along the extrusion? Just scale the circle down...
