Kangaroo Surface Minimisation
Hi all
I am trying to achieve a sort of surface minimisation to use within form finding experiments, similar to what is seen in this Kangaroo video:
After downloading kangaroo and having a look at the example files, and also looking on some of the other discussions on here I can't seem to find anything that will help me. I was just wondering if it is possible to achieve this effect without having the WeaverBird Components added? - As I am using a University computer that doesnt have this installed.
Thanks!

Yes, it is possible to do surface minimisation without Weaverbird - just make a starting mesh with plenty of faces in Rhino. There is some discussion of this in this thread:
