[Paraview] ParaView 5.4.0 Volume Rendering Inquiry

[Joel Kulesza]

Colleagues:

Has anyone else had problems rendering with "Volume" representation with
the as-distributed ParaView 5.4.0 (on OS X 10.11.6)?  When I select that
representation and "Yes" to the box regarding possibly taking a while, I
have only a white/blank Render View.  This is the case regardless of
coloring, colormap, or lighting options. Sometimes if I rotate the view,
I'll see a pseudo-surface representation, but when I stop I return to a
fully white render view.

In 5.4.0, I create the Volume by first Tetrahedraliz'ing my data set and
then selecting Volume representation.  Conversely, if I load the same data
in 5.2.0 and select Volume directly, it plots as I would expect.  If I try
to do the same in 5.3.0, it hangs on the render (status bar at the bottom
gets ~80% of the way and doesn't appear to proceed further).

Note that if I plot the same data in VisIt, it shows a Volume as I would
expect and quickly enough that I don't believe impatience to be my issue
(the data set is relatively small).

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Please contact me with any comments, questions, or concerns.

Thank you,
Joel
