[vtkusers] Best way to ray cast-render arbitrary points?

[David E DeMarle]

Try vtkGaussianSplatter. This will splat your points into a structured
grid, which you can then volume render.

There may be more efficient ways as well that don't go through the
intermediate format and render the points (or glyphs of them) directly, but
I'd have to hunt around to find them. Try playing with the data in ParaView
and something better may come up.
