Question:Need help plotting in spherical coords

I have a mechanics question with position given by phi = omega t theta = (1/2)Pi * (1+ (1/4)cos(4*omega*t)) r = b This is to be solved in spherical coords. That's not the problem. I solved this just fine, but I would really like to plot this to see what it looks like! Checking the help pages in maple, it says plot3d expects a function r(theta,phi) (might be the other way around?). So, is there a way to plot my 3 parts, or, failing that, how do I turn that into r wrt phi and theta? Cheers Chris PS. How do you post 2D math? I tried, but nothing really worked?
