Rolling Ellipse Tutorial

This tutorial shows you how to roll an ellipse on the floor, using Maya expressions. Have no fear, I won't go too much into mathematical details here, but will provide you with ready to use expressions for copy and paste. If you really want to dive into the wonders of elliptical calculus, you'll find the links to sites I used to obtain the mathematical background information at the end of this tutorial. I'll assume you are familiar with basic Maya workflow (expression editing, geometry creation, etc.) and some basic math, your angular unit should be "degrees".
