[Paraview] Getting a raytraced picture from Manta

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi Sohail,

you should just close the default 3D view and create the Manta one by
clicking on its button.
Then any object that you create will be shown in that raytracer view... And
with the latest implementation, you don't need a remote server anymore.
