[Paraview] Volume Data Not Visible Using Client/Server

[Robert.Atwood at diamond.ac.uk]

As soon as I tried client-server method of using paraview, I found that volume viewing just gave me a blank screen, though 'point' or 'slice' gave me some kind of view as expected.

A little googleing found this thread from 1.5 years ago:

I probably know the volume rendered issue.  I forget why but when connected to a
 remote server ParaView won't volume render on the client.
 Further, there is a threshold where toy to small datasets
 get rendered on the client.  Change this threshold to 0,
and volume rendering should occur on the remote server,
and work correctly.
Edit/ Settings/ RenderView / Server/ Remote Render Threshold == 0.

This seems to behave this way still in 4.1.0  (jan 2014)?  Any progress? I note that the dataset I was
rendering is much bigger than the 3mb threshold set by default, yet without setting the threshold to zero, no
volume rendering was presented on my screen.

Thanks
Robert
