[Paraview] ParaView Digest, Vol 49, Issue 3

[Berk Geveci]

It sounds like you want to volume render uniform rectilinear data
(vtkImageData) because neither OpenDX nor Voxler can volume render
unstructured grids. VTK has a 3D texture based volume rendering
algorithm for vtkImageData but it is not in ParaView currently. You
can report a feature request here: http://paraview.org/Bug. You can
also directly use VTK.
