[vtkusers] Input of Volume Rendering

[Will Schroeder]

Currently only image data can be volume rendered. You would have to use 
vtkProbeFilter to resample the data into a 3D image. I believe that VTK 
supports only unsigned char and unsigned short for volume rendering, so 
make sure that you convert the data into the right type.
