I am displaying a mesh in complete utter darkness. 
I didn't worry about it at all . 

After my vtkRenderer was added to the vtkRenderWindow

the only commands that followed were:


...
renderer->AddActor(mesh);
renderer->SetBackground(0,0,0); // or any other background color

....

that did it really....
