[vtkusers] Beautiful Rendering

[David E DeMarle]

Some things to try.

Swap out your data with something very simple and predictable like
vthSphereSource to simplify diagnosing the issues.

Compare you setup with the lighting examples in the vtk wiki examples
project.

Try the vtkLightKit instead of the single light you have now.

Turn down the ambient term further.
