Hello,  
I want to know if there is any solution to find the intersection between a mesh and a volume and colour the intersected area by using VTK?  
I am almost new with VTK, and any help could be helpful.  
Thanks

Yes, it is very doable, see a complete example here: [https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/Python/PolyData/PolyDataToImageDataStencil/](https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/Python/PolyData/PolyDataToImageDataStencil/)
