[vtkusers] VTK rendering pipeline - ray casting

[Juan Carlos Prieto]

Hi Julien,

Thank you very much for the presentation, I kept on looking and I saw 
that using a vtkCellPicker might do the job of finding the intersection 
of a ray against an actor in a renderer.
To do this, I'm moving the camera to look in the direction where I want 
the intersection to happen, but it seems that after producing the pick, 
it always finds the same cell in the actor.

Can you give me some suggestion on how should I do this?

Thank you very much
