Ping-Hsiang Chen, former computational designer at Zaha Hadid Architects, will lead a three-day online Kangaroo Physics workshop hosted by McNeel Europe.

This course introduces Kangaroo Physics, the live physics engine in Grasshopper, covering interactive simulation, form-finding, optimization, and constraint solving. Participants will learn to simulate material behavior, analyze geometry, and create animations, while exploring core concepts like constraints, particle systems, and material properties.

The workshop will also cover the application of Kangaroo to various geometry types, including NURBS, Mesh, and SubD.

On completion of this course, participants are expected to be able to:

• Use Kangaroo for form-finding with various constraint setups.

• Explore practical applications of physics-based modeling.

• Work across different geometry types, including NURBS, Mesh, and SubD.

• Create custom geometry behaviors using Kangaroo and new features in Rhino 8.
