[Paraview] volume vs. surface

[David E DeMarle]

Volume Rendering uses opacity to let you see through and inside the
data. Surface just shows the outermost surface. Volume rendering is
more compute intensive and thus often slower to render.

The two usually look very different.

I would have to have more details, like a stack trace or at least
error output to hazard as guess as to why it might be segfaulting for
you.
