In tcl where I want a vtkCutter (vTK_CUTF)  to face the camera  I do:-

vtkMatrix4x4 vTK_Matrix
Reset_Matrix  [camera GetViewTransformMatrix] vTK_Matrix
vtkMatrixToHomogeneousTransform vTK_MHT
              vTK_MHT SetInput  vTK_Matrix
vtkTransformPolyDataFilter vTK_PFilter
             vTK_PFilter SetInput [vTK_CUTF  GetOutput]
             vTK_PFilter SetTransform   [vTK_MHT GetInverse]

Where  the called  procedure is :

proc Reset_Matrix {  mat tempmat} {
        for {set i 0} {$i < 3} {incr i} {
       for {set j 0} {$j < 3} {incr j} {
               eval "$tempmat  SetElement $i $j [$mat GetElement $i $j]"

                                }
                            }
                                                        }

It works but you have to fix your own translations (i.e cols and rows 4
in the proc.)

Hope This Helps
