Hi Sam,
How are you getting the list of vertices in the first place? If you are
selecting points, see my 3rd example.
1. You can also use list comprehension to shorten this a bit more.
vertexList = [330, 136, 58]
postList = [cmds.pointPosition('pSphere1.vtx[%s]'%x) for x in vertexList]
cmds.curve(n='curve1', d=1, p=postList)
2. And I personally prefer .format() instead of %s string formatting. To me
it is a bit easier to read.
vertexList = [330, 136, 58]
postList = [cmds.pointPosition('pSphere1.vtx[{0}]'.format(x)) for x in
vertexList]
cmds.curve(n='curve1', d=1, p=postList)
3. If you are *selecting* your points to get them, you can do something
like this:
selPoints = cmds.ls(sl=True, flatten=True) *# flatten returns each vertex
separately, instead of in ranges like pSphere1.vtx[127:130]*
postList = [cmds.pointPosition(x) for x in selPoints]
cmds.curve(n='curve1', d=1, p=postList)
