[vtkusers] vtksmartvolumemapper issues

[mark.ostroot at lickenbrocktech.com]

Hello all,
 
I am updating some old vtk 6.3 code to vtk 8.1, Currently the older code uses vtksmartvolumemapper, I am running into a run time error with a new smart pointer. 
 
my code:
 
#include <vtkSmartVolumeMapper.h>
..
..
..
vtkSmartPointer<vtkSmartVolumeMapper> vMapper  = vtkSmartPointer<vtkSmartVolumeMapper>::New();    < = this breaks with unhandled exception at (vtkRenderingVolume-8.1.dll) Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000000
 
 
 
The code compiles, but I hit this run time exception on execution. I don't believe the smartvolumemapper has been deprecated, does anyone have any idea of what I am doing wrong?
