I creat some curves but they all in the same position , i mean they are all overlap, i divide by hand

02A - Diana Pérez - 3D Grid

This is the assignment about making a 3D grid of points, which I couldn't make work the last time.

numRows = 30
numLevels = 30

for i in range (0, numColumns, 1):
 x = i
 for j in range (0, numRows, 1):
  y = j
  for k in range (0, numLevels, 1):
   z = k
   myPoint = [x, y, z]
   cmds.spaceLocator (p = myPoint)

02A - Deborah Kaiser - from point to curves

Daniel, i took the function from the previous exercise but i can not get it to turn the points into a curve. What am i doing wrong?

Thnx!


def curves (amplitude):
numPoints = 200
amplitude = 1
points = []


for i in range (0,numPoints,1) : # (start, end, increment)ve
x = i + 3*i
y = cos (i)*amplitude*10
z = i*x*.001 + y*0.0001 +1
myPoint = [x,y,z]
points.append (myPoint)


myCurve = cmds.curve (d =3, p= points)
return myCurve

02A_Clau_from points to curves

In the first part of this exercise I took the code of the previous assingment, but instead of plotting points I generated curves (see image). Then I tried to convert the code into a function and return the value but didn't get a result. I have a Syntax Error. I don't know where is the mistake.
