[IDV #SJK-116567]: Error when generating volume rendering

Norhakim,

Please upload your corrected data to 

http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/idvupload

And let us know when it is there.

Have you experimented with other display types that may be 
adequate or better for the data you wish to display?

Best,

Unidata IDV Support

> Hello Sir/Madam,
> 
> After I followed your advice, finally I can visualize my wind netcdf data 
> using volume rendering tool in IDV. However, when I change the rotation of 
> the cube, the wind volume seems to fade and I can see only layers (Figure2). 
> Please find attached the wind volume rendering. Figure1 seem OK, somehow in 
> Figure2 the volume is fading even I have tried to set different percentage of 
> transparency. Is this something to do with the lighting intensity of 
> positioning? Or because I’m using small number of layers (6 layers) to 
> produce the volume rendering?
> 
> Thank you in adavance.
