• 3.1
• 3.4
• 3.5

In order to do 3.4 & 3.5 you'll need to install VTK. Installing VTK was fairly simple for me. I used C++ and did not use any of the wrapper classes (for which Java, Tcl, and other languages can be used). The one thing you do need to remember to do is tell cmake where VTK was installed when it asks

What is the path where the file UseVTK.cmake can be found.

Everything worked for me just using the default values. I suggest altering code from

VTK/Examples/Tutorial/Step1/Cxx/Cone.cxx

Also use the documentation from the VTK site.
