[vtkusers] How can I get a combination of Glyph3D and Follower?

[Day, Robert]

Thanks for that suggestion David.

I have already tried to get solid colour spheres, but when rendered in greyscale the overlapping spheres just merge in to a big blob.

I have gone the other way, with a dark diffuse colour and bright specular and radiant colours.  This tends to give a brighter highlight facing the light (which is near the camera) and a darker "halo" around the edges.

This approaches but isn't yet what I am after, which is more like a cartoon (solid outlines defining the edges of shaded shapes); the way I was taught to render things like this by hand.
