[vtkusers] Exporting RGB Polydata to .OBJ or .PLY

[kenichiro yoshimi]

Hi,

You can use the vtkX3DExporter or vtkVRMLExporter to export VTK scene
and render the meshes and colors in blender.

> Hello,
> I have set up PolyData and added 4 component scalar array to it. When I create PolyDataMapper, set scalar visibility and add actor to the scene, all colors are rendered properly.
> However, I have a problem with exporting this scene or just the polydata to the .OBJ (+mtl) file or to the .PLY. When I open it up in Blender, geometry is exported correctly, however OBJ is created all white, and .PLY has a single, grayish color (apart from the shadows of course), which I don't think is even present in input PolyData.

> writer = vtk.vtkOBJExporter()
> writer.SetFilePrefix(output_prefix)
> writer.SetInput(renWin)
> writer.Write()

> I am using Python 3.6 and VTK 8.1.1.

> Any help how to export geometry and colors, so they can be reused in other programs?
