Hello all. I have a python script I had done for an exercise a while back that I need help with. I got up to the point of taking a text file and doing an output in the script editor but as far as graphing it in Maya using nurbs curves I'm not sure how to go about it.
I heard it has something to do with longitudinal and latitudinal ranges or something like that but I never have seen a code example to go by. I don't mind posting the script and the .txt file but I would be grateful if someone could help me since this has been on my to do list for a while.
Thanks in advance,
Jon
