GCODE 02⏐ PART 08 ⏐ Rhino and Grasshopper
Welcome back to Episode 8
In this video we are designing an intricate, maze-like toolpath generator using the Kangaroo plugin.
🛠️ What We Cover in This Episode:
Setting Up the Kangaroo Solver: We introduce the Kangaroo physics engine to our workflow. We will walk through how to set up the primary forces, collision goals, and constraints needed to simulate these complex, self-organizing maze patterns.
Designing Continuous Maze Toolpaths: We explore how to refine the simulation to generate clean, continuous toolpaths instead of just chaotic lines. We’ll look at how to control the density, scale, and behavior of the maze structure so it perfectly adapts to our underlying geometry.
🔜 What's Next: From Script to Reality
Up next, we will show how some of the specific functions from this script can be translated into the real world—starting first as a physical prototype, and eventually evolving into a polished, finished product.
