[help] create a curve by a list of points

I want to create a curve by a series of points following their respective point numbers. However, the python code used in the Curve node doesn't work.

pts = hou.pwd().geometry().points()

pts_list = “”

for pt in pts:
x = pt.position()
y = pt.position()
z = pt.position()
pts_list = pts_list + str(x) + “,” + str(y) + “,” + str(z) + “ ”

print pts_list


Can anybody kindly help to take a look and advise on what's wrong?

Thanks!

Ji

Your file didn't work because instead of iterating through the points of the input node you had your code looking up the points of the curve node itself which caused an infinite recursion.

Check out the attached file,

cheers!
