When in doubt, ask him yourself.
He has an email.

Oh, no not at all. As long as you have a point to your email (ie., a question), then he will answer it. But if it's non-definitive chatter about nothing; well, there isn't much he can send back.

So just email him an inquiry about whether he used Treemaker for any of his models, and you should get a reply back.

I've emailed him a few serious questions ( i wasn't asking for a CP or diagrams!) and no response.

But I wouldn't think he would use it. Treemaker is pretty limited in designing, only circle packing. You can't add grafting, bps, etc

Well you can modify a treemaker design and add grafts :)

Yes, true, but I think it would be easier to just make the grafts fundamentally

but besides, bping is still not an option which is a main designing tool nowadays

It's probably because no one knows whether or not he does , but honestly, I doubt he could make the kraken with treemaker.

I mean a response from him (I emailed him). I think SOME of his work is treemaker designed :)

Maybe some of his older work. I would be very surprised if he uses it with any regularity in recent history. Treemaker designs, as said, are very limited. Grafting is not a magic fix for a design and is only useful if used wisely, just like many (any) other design techniques.
