[vtkusers] mesh to image conversion

[Joshi, Pallavi]

Hi,
I need some help from you regarding this posting of yours. I have a skull(i
extract it by thresholding the bones of a CT volume) and then I convert it to a
polygonal mesh. I now want to paint the inside of this mesh into an 3D image.
Can you please tell how how to go about this ? 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
--Pallavi
