Hello, we are trying to obtain ribbons that rotate automatically, so that they are always facing the camera. The reason is they can be used to visualise well/borehole logs in geology.

The problem I see is that the output of vtkRibbonFilter is a vtkPolyData, but objects that can be kept oriented towards the camera with vtkFollower are vtkActors, correct?

Thanks!
