Kangaroo for Grasshopper
- Description
- Curriculum
- FAQ
- Reviews
Kangaroo is a powerful engine created by Daniel Piker to simulate different phenomena in Grasshopper.
Learn how to create goals of different nature to simulate your structures.
Get introduced to peculiar structures, such as:
-
Tensegrity
-
Bending active rods and plates
-
Hybrids
Note: This course presumes that you already know Grasshopper.
