And K2Engineering if you want to keep things Kangaroo-y.

I wasn't aware of this tool .. How to install a trial version to have a look at ?

Thanks.

No trial version needed. It is a free plugin that is developed on top of Kangaroo2. You can download the dependencies under releases and learn more about it on Cecilie's website (the developer).

Not really, but there is a very substantial description in Cecilie's thesis that should help. I think there might also be some examples files floating around somewhere.
