Dear vtkusers,

I am developing a tool to show the filling of a mould. The mould is shown 
as a transparent vtkPolyData ( originally an stl-file ).
I can show the liquid in the mould by specifying a certain isovalue and 
plot the isosurface. The free surface of the liquid looks great. However, 
the isosurface, at a certain isovalue, never coincides exactly with the stl 
file. This looks very bad. (See attachment)
So, what I actually would like to do is make an image of the free surface 
at a certain isovalue, and color the wetted part of the stl surface, 
leaving the unwetted part transparent.

Does anyone out there have any idea how to tackle this problem?


Best regards,

ROB.
