[vtkusers] Error porting from VTK 5.10 to VTK 6.1

[Cory Quammen]

Francesco,

If you are using Visual Studio directly, then you need to define some
symbols either in your code or as /D options. This sets up VTK's object
factory so that you can instantiate vtkActors - if you don't define these
symbols, all invocations to vtkActor::New() will return NULL, which is
leading to the error you are seeing.

See these threads for some details on using VTK_AUTOINIT definitions to set
up the VTK factory:

There is also some useful information here:

HTH,
Cory
