Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Information

Date: 22.06.2020

Software used: Rhinoceros 6, Grasshopper, Kangaroo2

Tools Used: Rectangle, Populate 2d, Sphere Collide, Shatter, Length (Line), Surface, Divide Curve, Project, Mesh, OnMesh, Button, Bouncy Solver, Interpolate, Boolean Toggle, Solid Point Collide, Load, Floor, Delaunay edges, Vector, Delaunay Mesh.

The session focused on developing the understanding of using kangaroo2 in continuation of the previous session. To understand this, two sets of small exercises were done followed by final exercise where learning of this two exercises and previous day session was accumulated to generate a fabric (in this example a Bed sheet) using Kangaroo2.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Random points generated in a rectangular geometry.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Triangulated curves generated by connection of the populated points using Delaunay Edges.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Collision of spheres (created on points) using Bouncy Solver and sphere collide.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Spheres flocked by controlled list length and strength of sphere collide.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Polycurve created in rhino and assigned in grasshopper.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

 Interpolating points shattered points generated from the base polycurve.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Pattern generated on increasing the radius of collision.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

A rectangular surface was created in rhino and assigned in grasshopper. The polycurve being projected on the surface.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

The pattern confined within the rectangular geometry using bounding box.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Base surface in rhino trimmed with two cuboids.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Final outcome showing pattern shaped according to the boundary of the surface.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

A surface and geometry created in rhino and assigned in grasshopper. Populated points generated on surface being dropped on the solid geometry using Bouncy solver.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Triangulated mesh generated from the populated points of the surface and dropped on the solid geometry.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Triangulated mesh being morphed on the solid geometry.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Triangulated mesh morphed again after increasing number of points on the surface.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Desired mesh after trials.

Day 8 | Introduction to Kangaroo2

Final outcome after baking the mesh in rhino.
