[Paraview] ParaView 5.4.0 Volume Rendering Inquiry

[Cory Quammen]

Joel,

This is a known issue that we have not yet resolved:
https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/17303

As a workaround, you can try a different volume rendering algorithm (Select
Mapper property in the Properties panel) such as "Z Sweep", "Bunyk ray
cast", or "Resample to Image".

HTH,
Cory
