If there is sufficient interest, I would be willing to try again, this time skipping VTK 5.10 and going directly to VTK 6 / master. Reply with a +1 or contact me directly if you'd like to discuss the future of ActiViz. (What I'd really like is a team of developers to learn how it works who really really want to carry it into the future..... It cannot succeed as a 1-man project. At least not if I'm supposed to be the 1-man.) Let me know, David C.<div> </div></divre></span></div></span></body></html>
