Hi,
I'm having a similar problem and want to try using vmtkpotentialfit.
I tried using it the following way:

vmtkpotentialfit -imagefile foo.vti -ofile foo_potentialfit.vtk

but it seems that the output is empty (no file is created). If I try to view
the surface, I see nothing, just a black screen.
Does anyone know if there's an example I can follow for this script?

Regards,
Ido
