[vtkusers] VTK Light Model

[Patricio Sandaña]

Hi Ken,

Sorry for to take too long to answer back. Reviewing VTK I could notice you
have vtkLightKit which seems to do it work as a preset quick setup of
lights. What I could notice is that they are allá directional lights, so
you can't get, let's say, "realistic shading" with them, as positional
lights allow some gradiation on edges with all the vertices with the same
normal. I could notice that the lighting model supports positional lights.

Is there any implementation, like vtkLightKit which provides a quick setup
of a light model including positional lights? Maybe experimental models
which I can take a look on?

Cheers,

Pato
