[vtkusers] Generating 3D images from surfaces

[Lintermann Andreas]

Hi,

I was wondering if there exists a class which can handle the  
following problem:

I have a 3D geometry stored in a vtkPolyData and I would like to  
generate a 3D image out of it. The image should have a resolution  
specified by the user. I was thinking about using bounded 2D cut  
planes through my geometry and and generate a certain pixel value at  
the position of the pixel, where a triangle from my 3d surface cuts  
this plane. After generating a lot of these 2d images along a certain  
axis (the distance of the planes is the diameter in z-direction of  
the geomtry devided by the resolution of the image in z-direction), I  
want to combine these images to a 3d image volume. Is there any  
easier way to handle this?

Yours sincerly,

Andreas Lintermann
