Soap film elements and geodesic control strings

Simply relaxing networks of springs does not give true minimal surfaces. The new version of Kangaroo includes soap-film elements for accurate tensile form-finding (and allowing to choose different warp and weft stiffness).
Also - new geodesic-control-string elements, or G-Strings, keep the seams following geodesic curves on the surface so that the strips are straight when unrolled

new version available now from the usual place: http://www.food4rhino.com/project/kangaroo
