In addition to the the rendering itself, the screenshot shows a histogram plot I was using for debugging, as well as some editor controls I use to modify the color/opacity transfer function.<br><br></div><div>I then tested with another volume which is larger (300x300x5000), but apart from that has pretty much the same characteristic for its scalar values as the first one, and all of a sudden I don't see anything.

The file from which I load this second, larger, volume is actually a concatenation of several files, and I just tried loading one of the files separately and it worked fine (the rendering looks as expected). So something is probably wrong in the script I use for concatenating HDF5 files. I'll do some digging there.<span><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>There seems to be nothing wrong with the concatenation script I'm using. I've now tried creating smaller volumes by not concatenating the full set of files, and up until a resulting volume of around ~2500x300x300 it works okay, but if I extend the volume more than that, the rendering fails like described previously. It's quite strange :/ And I don't think I'm hitting some out-of-memory condition inside VTK, since it normally prints nice errors and crashes if that happens.<span><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm beginning to think that maybe I'm running out of graphics memory? Could this be a symptom of that?<br><br></div><div>I've now created a minimal test case, and would very much appreciate if someone could try it out to see if they get the same problem:<br><br></div><div>Download<br><br> <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1a2u6qVxaL7M1B6bFhreE1RQW8" target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/open?<wbr>id=<wbr>0B1a2u6qVxaL7M1B6bFhreE1RQW8</a><br><br></div><div>and extract the .tar archive (162 MB since it includes two volumes).

Is that the case also for you?<br><br></div><div>The only difference between the two volumes is that not_working.hdf5 is slightly larger than working.hdf5 (2500 voxels high vs 2000). Apart from that they were both created in the same way.<br><br></div><div>Thanks a lot in advance,<br></div><div>Elvis<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><span><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div><span><font color="#888888"><div>Elvis<br></div></font></span><span><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><span><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div><span><font color="#888888"><div>Elvis<br></div></font></span><span><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><span><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div><span><font color="#888888"><div>Elvis<br></div></font></span><div><br></div><div>PS. If you're confused by the range of the vtkAxisActor that you see in the screenshots, when comparing to the the volume sizes I stated above, it's because my custom render currently hardcodes the spacing to 0.2.
