What you'll learn

  • Understand how Kangaroo Physics works for complete beginner level
  • Understand the difference between Kangaroo I vs. II and know which one to choose
  • Ability to use various parametric components that push the design to new heights
  • Ability to simulate and find forms using the various components of Kangaroo

Course content

8 sections • 32 lectures • 9h 40m total length

  • Unit-01-1 Form Making vs. Form Finding20:15

    Discover form finding with Kangaroo Physics in Grasshopper, using study models and parametric definitions to find equilibrium forms, contrasted with traditional form making.

  • Unit-01-2 Kangaroo I vs. II & Hooke's Law Part 129:51

    Explore how Kangaroo I and II apply Hooke's Law to simulate springs with rest length, stiffness, and gravity in Grasshopper using anchors and a weight.

  • Unit-01-3 Kangaroo I vs. II & Hooke's Law Part 236:12

    Compare Kangaroo 2 to Kangaroo 1 in Grasshopper, focusing on anchors, goals, forces, and Hooke's law, plus new solvers and animation tools like show, frames, and step-based animation.
