[vtkusers] Making custom data for a regular 3d voxel grid

[Bill Lorensen]

Daniel,

Yes, the learning curve is high. But once you get the basics, you'll
see that VTK  has a consistent architecture. So learning a few
concepts will go a long way. I suggest you work your way through the
new VTK Examples:
https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/Cxx/

You can build them all, or one at a time. Making small changes to a
working example is great way to learn a new "language." For the most
part, the examples have a consistent style and flow.

Welcome to VTK,

Bill
