Grasshopper - Kangaroo 1 vs. Kangaroo 2

0:00 - Introduction
2:25 - Kangaroo 1
13:08 - Kangaroo 2
18:20 - talking about solver differences and the new solver types in kangaroo 2
25:31 - Kangaroo 2 grab object and other closing thoughts
In this video, we do a simple breakdown of the old and new kangaroo solvers, showing how they are analogous, and which features make which version more useful.

Thank you so much. I'm in my second year at Cornell, and I needed some help with grasshopper.

[@BillySnowball]

Nice set of videos, good job Daniel

[@amirhosseinrezaiicherati4212]

I've been fascinated by Kangaroo! Really amazing and practical.Good to have you here.I'm going to watch all your tutorials :)) Thank you Daniel

[@DanielChristev]

Cheers Amir! Just trying to put some good content out there!

[@luispinalopes2191]

Amazing tutorial Daniel! Thanks.

Hi, is there a way in which I can change the size of the mesh plane to an exact length? When I try to input values the chain breaks...

[@katashi1129]

Nice to meet you.
I don't know the value of gravity for a kangaroo, do you know how much?
Thank you in advance.

[@DanielChristev]

If you're working in metres, then it's SI units. 9.81

[@SaidAvriley]

Can I ask you how am I able to make void inside the mass?

[@jdesignpro]

Respect and many thanks to you!

[@J-bt5jw]

thanks for the time stamp

[@michelleandal3623]

mesh component for kangaroo 1 doesn't exist?

[@NRSmith075]

Mate awesome video! One question you didn't flatten the inputs for Kangaroo 2. Does the newer version handle list inputs better?

[@DanielChristev]

Yes, in the new kangaroo, you do not need to flatten the inputs, that is handled automatically inside the solver.

Great tutorial! Thank you

[@eviljune]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@felistigris3227]

thank you!

[@dineshraj78]

I am super clear but can you explain me the timer equation x%2 and its output. how will it be 0 and 1 always???
there will be a value if x is constantly increasing right. help me...

[@DanielChristev]

The % expression, modulo as it's called is a really useful way to loop a value. All it does is returns the remainder after a division operation. For instance, 2/2 has 0 remaining after the operation, 3/2 will give us 1 left over, and 4/2 will give us 0, and 5/2 wll give us 1, etc..

[@dineshraj78]

Daniel Christev thank you for the Swift reply.. I'm kind of clear.

[@SaidAvriley]

hello daniel! thankyou for your tutorial. I follow it until I ran kangaroo but unfortunately it said an error message "Index out of range" though I followed your script. What does it mean?

[@SaidAvriley]

well, I have solve this teehee

[@PlaysTheHits]

Thanks for the great tutorial. Where can I find the "reset counter"?

[@PlaysTheHits]

Found it when I installed Kangaroo 1.

[@DanielChristev]

+PlaysTheHits well.. You beat me to it.

[@muzafferkoc6696]

Daniel, i want design free form structure (free form steel structure) my problem all beam diffrent size lenght ,how can i optimize member lenght similar

[@DanielChristev]

use the equalise length node, it exists in both kangaroo 1 and 2

[@muzafferkoc6696]

hi daniel , i want smilar lenght grid shell build .How i can do , thanks your answer

[@DanielChristev]

sorry man, not sure what you mean...

[@elcurvo]

What is the best way to learn how to handle Kangaroo?
(Do you have "on line"courses?) Thanks

[@DanielChristev]

+elcurvo I have done a few videos on my channel. I also do tutoring, but don't as such have an online course.

[@GEORGE.M.M]

Hey Daniel, whenever I install kangaroo 1 (0099) I'm always short of the 'springsfrommesh' command, are extra plugins required for 'springsfrommesh command to show up on my gh ribbon? alternatively, is there a kangroo2 substitute?

[@DanielChristev]

I tend not to use the springsfrommesh tool because it is just a clustered version of the springsfromline tool, with some of the control parameters hidden within. If you do absolutely want the springsfrommesh tool, you will also need to grab the files in the 'userobjects' directory that comes with your download of kangaroo and drop them into grasshopper's userobjects directory.
Kangaroo 2 does not have a comparative clustered object, but as I said above, the springsfrommesh is essentially the same as (in the case of Kangaroo 2) the length(line) tool, you just need to deconstruct the mesh into a collection of edges - which is done through either the mesh edges tool, or if you have weaverbird installed - wbedges.

[@GEORGE.M.M]

Thank you for the swift and informative reply, I will apply your advice to my script. Much appreciated!

[@ChINNg28]

there is no wbE for my kangaroo 2

[@cyril5274]

Apparently wbEdges is part of another plugin called "Weaverbird"

[@muzafferkoc6696]

thank you
