Hi John, incredible work and looks like a lot of fun. I know this is an old post but though I would ask, I’ve downloaded the definition for the grid deformation script and the files, however I ‘m not able to run it, or in better words kangaroo starts running with 1ms intervals set but the grid remains the same as the input grid, no changes can be appreciated. Any tips will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Dimitri, This is from 5 years ago, but these base files could help you: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/oyw2ojtax9boffa/AAC65TTFQQPzaxYTIbqT3Ehoa?dl=0

Thank you for sharing your experiments.

I would also like to ask for the tutorials that helped you with the distortion of the 3d space frame, or the .gh if its possible.

This is great – im looking to get started with kangaroo and really want to do something exactly like the deformed space grid. Could you clarify – is the definition shown used for both dropping a series of cubes through an obstacle course and pulling points around on a 3D space frame?

Could you point me in the direction of the video tutorial you used to generate that experiment

Thanks

Sphoon, it’s my oldest, favoritest, most dependingest method. Just render with vray in rhino, then use make2D to get vector oultines, then combine in illustrator.

Hi John,

not a very typical question you’d get regarding this blog post, but how was the first (top) image produced (the one of the space frame)? I like the look of it…
ps – nice kangaroo work too

cheers

hello, my name is bernadette, i am working on the topic of space-frame-deformation and i am very much interested in the “kangaroo test” which seems to do exactly that! somehow i do not manage to get the ghx-definition to work! what am i am doing wrong?
i would be very happy for any kind a help!
cheers,
bernadette
