Introduction

In this chapter, we'll be looking at how to manipulate geometry within Maya via scripting. First off, we'll look at how to make sure that we have the right kind of object selected. From there, we'll look at how to retrieve information about particular kinds of geometry (both polygonal and NURBS).

We'll also be looking at how to create new geometry (both single faces and entire objects) and how to create per-vertex modifications to existing objects.
