Kangaroo is a plug-in for Grasshopper, it embeds Physical behaviour directly within your Rhino3d Modelling environment it also allows interaction with the model live while any simulation is running. With Kangaroo you can participate in a virtual form finding process.
Some examples of where Kangaroo could be applied include:
Forces to be tackled and future development plans include:
Other Forces can also be added, feel free to forward any suggestions and we’ll put you in touch with the developer, Daniel Piker.
Kangaroo is covered within our Grasshopper Level 2 Scheduled class. We can also include the use of Kangaroo within any tailored or project specific class. Call us for details.
Kangaroo is a live physics engine for interactive simulation, optimization, and form-finding directly within Grasshopper.
Please refer to the draft Manual for Kangaroo for further information.
