[vtkusers] volume rendering large data

[Tuhin Sinha]

Felix,

  I have rendered datasets that large on a system significantly slower than 
the one you describe using the standard volume rendering pipepline in VTK and 
texture mapping.  To improve framerates, I subsampled my data by a factor of 
2 using vtkExtractVOI.  Start with SimpleTextureMap2D.tcl in the 
Examples/VolumeRendering directory of your VTK source tree.  You should be 
able to hack that code to get your visualization up and running.
