Just a little tiplet: If you make a grid of points or an array and then use 'From Points' to generate a mesh a problem might occur. The problem is that it saves a beginning-sequence seam, because this geometry doesn't finished end-to-end you can't see it but if they do there is a simple solution. Points > From Points (mesh edit) > wbEdges (weaverbird) > wbWeave (weaverbird) = clean mesh :D basically you use the 'mesh'edit' component to get the lines and then use weaverbird's mesh generation.
Hi, I am using the latest version of kangaroo 2 plugin and rhino, and could not find the component KangarooPhysics you introduced at the video 11:01, I downloaded all the plugins you listed below, it's there an alternative for that?
First of all, thank you very much for this Tutorial ! I'm kind of new in using Grasshopper and with Kangaroo2 "last version", I've tried to go step by step with you .. I faced a problem of not finding Springs from line ,, Your advice would be highly appreciated !!
hello! thank you for the presentation! imagine that I want to set up a tent like this one. How do I know the dimensions of the anchor points? each anchor point has to have pegs. is that possible to calculate them on grasshopper?
Thanks a lot Daniel for this tutorial. I'm having an issue with the springs and the Uforce connecting to the kangaroo force objects simultaneously. Please what can I do to solve this problem? Thank you.
Thank you, such a great tutorial! I'm trying to do it in kangaroo 2 and everything works fine until I try to move the points in the middle in the z direction. The mesh doesn't stick to the moved points, despite the not-gate and the reset button. Do you have any idea how tho work around that? Thanks!
+Maja Linse if you're trying to do this in kangaroo 2, the newer versions of the plugin have a new form of anchor tool, which allow you to feed in an initial position, and target position, so you don't need to use this workaround method any longer. For all intents and purposes, it can be quite difficult to diagnose problems like this through blocks of text though. Make sure you're setting up the simulation right. I've done a tutorial on kangaroo 2 which may or may not (hopefully may) be helpful in checking your setup.
Thank you! Setting the central points (not moved) and the points along the edge as anchor points and the moved points (and the points around the edge) as target did the trick. I really apreciated this video, and the video where you compared kangaroo 1 and 2! :)
HI daniel, When I connect points from "linear array" to "mesh from points" I faced with this error "1. Insufficient number of points." How can I solve that?
Have you flattened the point collection coming into the component? Did you use the u+1 expression in the correct place? If so, there is a chance that some versions of grasshopper behave differently to mine. In this case, check how many points are coming into the mesh from points component, this value should be equal to the result of multiplying the U and V values. if the multiplication provides a different result, one of the numbers is either too large or too small (likely only by +-1), so you may need to use a different u+, or v+ expression.
I did this tutorial while the new release was out, just because I preferred some of the behaviours of version 0.99 which is in fact still available and still a great piece of componentry. But that said, there will be some tutorials on the new version of kangaroo coming out soon!
Hey there Could you be a little more specific? What exactly appears in red? If it's the kangaroo physics solver, then have you flattened the points coming into the anchor point input?

Also Catmull Clarke is the real MVP so shout to Catmull Clarke. If you use Catmull Clarke you don't need T-Splines for many things = savings.

Hi Ad, I can't find the comment " mesh from point" from my Rhino, could you please guide me to find it, Thank you so much.
thanks so much!! I hope you are upload more tutorials for education in grasshopper, congratulations.

I've since done a new tutorial which talks about the difference between version 1 and version 2:

Excellent tutorial!
Hi daniel ,u mentioned in the video that there is a way to draw circle instead of spiral can u point out where i can find to do it in you tutorial
Hey Mohmed, can you refer me to the exact timecode in this video that I talk about this?
1:15 - 1:17
Ahh of course! I did a tutorial on parametric equations early on in my series, here's the link:

thank you.!!!
hello! thank you for the presentation!

Hey there!
You can move the individual anchor points to any position you want in rhino. I show how to do that in my introduction to kangaroo video.
Thanks a lot Daniel for this tutorial.

+Olasimbo Alabi hold the shift key to plug multiple streams into the same input.
Oh! My! Thank you so much. I'm really grateful. Cheers!
why i cant get the Mesh from point component?.
great tutorial. thanks
+Gonzalo caso burgueño mesh from points is a custom component which is part of meshedit, see video description for download link.

Great video - thanks!
Very good tutorial, thank you! I learned a lot
Thanks Munchkin303!

Hi Daniel
Thanks a lot.It was solved.The was about the count of points,those were not u+1.
Thanks for your hint and your tutorial.
it looks like the current kangoroo version its totally different to what you have in the video...could you do a new version tutorial?
I did this tutorial while the new release was out, just because I preferred some of the behaviours of version 0.99 which is in fact still available and still a great piece of componentry. But that said, there will be some tutorials on the new version of kangaroo coming out soon!
hi, im having a problem with the middle anchor points. When i connect them it doesn't work (appears in red)
Hey there
Could you be a little more specific? What exactly appears in red? If it's the kangaroo physics solver, then have you flattened the points coming into the anchor point input?
This sounds like a different problem. Could you provide any more specifics to diagnose?
Thank you man, this was pretty helpful :)
so amazing sir ..
