Kangaroo Physics

Below are some videos showing off some of the fun I am having with the Kangaroo Physics engine by Daniel Piker. Kanagroo is a powerful and intuitive tool that allows you simulate physical phenomena, such as gravity, within the Grasshopper environment.

You can test drive Kangaroo by visiting KangarooPhysics.com
