[vtkusers] Newbie: Howto load and display textured meshes (vrml or 3ds)?

[Mathias Franzius]

Dear group,

I try to load a vrml or 3ds file and display it with its textures. So far I succeeded in displaying the mesh but cannot figure out how to enable textures.
vtkVRMLImporter and vtk3DSImporter do support textures, don't they?
The 3ds and wrl files contain textures that are correctly displayed in different viewers.

My code snippet in python looks like this:

import vtk
importer = vtk.vtkVRMLImporter()
importer.SetFileName('duck.wrl')
importer.Read()
renWin = importer.GetRenderWindow()
iren = vtk.vtkRenderWindowInteractor()
iren.SetRenderWindow(renWin)
renWin.SetSize(300, 300)
iren.Initialize()
renWin.Render()
iren.Start()


Any help appreciated!
   Mathias
