[IDV #WNR-458825]: Problem w/volume rendering

> Description of problem: Hello. I've been trying to do some volume rendering of clouds in IDV. Isosurface works fine (as you can see in the attatched picture) but volume rendering gives a gray cube. This gray cube doesn't change when I change various parameters (color range, transparency, etc). Any ideas on why this is happening? The 2 pics are of the same data file, so I don't know why the volume rendering doesn't give clouds.

This is probably a graphics card issue.  What is the graphics 
card you are using?

Try the following:

- do the volume rendering
- bring up the properties for the Volume Rendering control
(Edit->Properties menu of the control).
- Uncheck the Use Texture 3D property and click the OK button.

Does that make your volume rendering appear?
