Several Drake patches to VTK should be up-streamed:

• [x] camera_copy.patch VTK/VTK!11125
• [ ] fix_illumination_bugs.patch VTK/VTK!11146
  • [x] subset of illumination - VTK/VTK!11374
• [x] gltf_parser.patch VTK/VTK!11126
• [x] gltf_quiet_image_errors.patch VTK/VTK!11130
• [x] mr11117.patch VTK/VTK!11117

The latest version of the patches can be found here.

Once all are upstreamed, we should bump Drake to VTK master and adjust the (now shorter) list of patches:

• [ ] Upgrade Drake's VTK pin

---

These patches were an outcropping of #20867, and other related work.

FYI #22052 should help make the tracking of upstreamable patches easier.
