Hi Kelly.

You can use the slider animation function of grasshopper to capture frames of an animation.

In Kangaroo2, just connect a slider to the 'On' input, then right click the slider and select Animate.

The range doesn't matter - it is just there to trigger kangaroo to update, and any +ve value going into 'On' will do this.

Set the frame count, file location, resolution etc then OK.

Finally, use some video software to turn these frames into an avi/mp4 etc. There are many options here, but VirtualDub is free, simple and gets the job done.

For generating animated gifs you could also use the code I posted here.

In v0.099 it works similarly, just you have to include a 'NOT' like this, and connect to the Rest input:
