o fix before it becomes very usable, but I'm posting the file here in case anyone wants to try it out.
It is a few simple scripts which record point locations from a first Kangaroo simulation whenever the capture button is pressed, and then when you playback the animation it interpolates between this captured sequence of points, pulling a second Kangaroo simulation to these targets. You can control the playback with a slider or automatically with a timer.
This should work with other Kangaroo2 setups, but here demonstrated with a human figure modelled as a collection of rigid bodies. At the knees and elbows the rigid bodies share 2 points to give a hinge joint, while for shoulders, neck, hips, ankles, wrists and torso they share only single points, giving a basic ball joint.
This is also the first time I've posted this model, and I'm also including the setup without the animation script. I know there are numerous issues with this poseable figure - dragging joints sometimes moves parts of the model you don't want to, and joints have unrealistic ranges of motion. I made a start at trying to limit some of these - such as ClampLength goals to stop the torso bending too much, but more could be done. There is also an issue with the rigid bodies (which track orientations with a frame of 3 points) that if you grab the frame itself, the simulation can break. I'm currently rethinking this whole approach.
I should also say that although I have heavily modified this human model to make it work for this setup, I did start from a mesh downloaded from some free 3d model collection site, but unfortunately I do not know the name of the original artist. If someone recognises it I would like to add appropriate credits.…

to run at full screen. I've gone as far as using an iPad to use as the second monitor via AirDisplay (which actually works really well) but have never been satisfied with any setup that required you to look back and forth as if at a tennis match all day long.
Not long after first using Grasshopper 3+ years ago I've had the desire for a "Live Viewport" component that would allow a live image of the 3d geometry being generated directly in the canvas. Every once in a while I search the forums with the hope of finding a solution, but always come up empty handed. Someday this might exist although for now I have found what might be the next best thing to a native "Live Viewport" component and its enabled with a small app named Sticky Previews. This app uses the task bar preview feature within Windows 7's aero interface to create custom, floating preview windows from any open window currently running. I've only just discovered the app, but it seems to do the trick and has been stable and problem free so far. -- I will post an update if I find out that I might have spoken too soon. The install allows for a 30 day trial and is $15 bucks to purchase. I just found the app and don't know anything about this group that created the app. If you happen to know of them, Id be curious to find out more.

Workshop 2: Introduction to Parametric Design
Instructor: Rajaa Issa
(12:30 PM-3:30 PM)
This workshop will introduce the general framework of parametric thinking with a series of hands-on tutorials using Grasshopper for Rhinoceros. It is meant for beginners who have little to no idea about parametric modeling. The workshop will introduce the general components of an algorithm, design workflow, Grasshopper interface and visualization techniques. The students are expected to have basic knowledge of the Rhino modeling environment. Workshop 1 should fulfill this requirement.
Registration: Computers and software will be provided. Space is limited to 20 seats per workshop. The fee for each workshop is $60 (plus a $4.29 fee). There is a special rate of $30 (plus a $2.64 fee) for students and teachers provided they request a discount here with their school email address before registering. Register now……
curves A and B.
For each point pA on curve A,
you need the corresponding tangent vector tA on curve A, and the lists of "cone" vectors pB(j)-pA and tangent vectors tB(j) on curve B. so you have three vectors tA, tB(j) and AB(j)
these three vectors define a parallelogram thas varies along j
3d determinant of the three vectors above gives you the volume of this parallelogram. When 3dDet = 0 then it means it's flat, the vectors are coplanar. Thats what we're looking for.
So you just need to plot the curve 3Ddet = f(pB) , still for each point on A
'pB is the parameter here'
graphically solve these cuves to find the zeros and you feed back the resulting parameter in curve B. draw te line, done.
You can manage double solutions or cusps directly on the plot by using clostest point and >= conditions to kill unwanted results.
I do it twice, from crv A to crrv B and from B to A to make sure I catch start and end generatrices each time.
The videos you posted are interesting. I don't understand how it works with just 2 slider to tune the curves.

e it would of course be amazing if these could be displayed in a Rhino window / baked as objects...). I use the BarGraph as a histogram constantly for exploring the data I generate as I'm designing - in fact the graph components are one of the most frequent components I use at the 'end' of my design process. Would be nice to add Titles to the graph/bargraph and labels to axes, as well as the feature requests Marc points out above.
Also wondered if the 'MD slider' would soon have a 3D option similar to the colour picker? Would be useful.
Of course many other graph types would come in quite handy (I often export my data to Excel in order to visualise better) - 2D scatter with the tree structure indicating different data sets and therefore different colour/point types on the graph (Excel-style) would be handy. Of course these could be created as Grasshopper objects and displayed in the viewport but I find the work needed to get to a presentable output this way is often too much and its faster for me to just look at the data in Excel. Also in the Rhino viewport you often want to be visualising the end result of your definition (i.e. geometry) and not have to zoom somewhere else or fiddle around to try to display a graph of values at the same time. I could imagine an 'output' control panel could be quite handy, where you drag and lock in the various text panels / graphs / etc which are useful to you and tell you information about your design as you are varying the input parameters. This could be outside of GH possibly and maybe linked to one side of the Rhino viewport.
Any thoughts? Of course some of these requests are asking Grasshopper to expand a bit more into the 'data display/interpretation' space - however I think this is extremely important as with each design I create there is most always associated data which tells me about its performance in some way or another and viewing that / illustrating it to clients in a quick and friendly way is key. Of course what is there already is most impressive and useful!
