Make high-res 3D volume-rendering image using VisIT2.8.2 on Bluehive

Jonathan installed VisIT 2.8.2 on Bluehive with SLIVR (a volume rendering library supported by GPU, http://www.visitusers.org/index.php?title=Volume_Rendering#SLIVR ). This makes doing 3D volume rendering images a lot faster and fancier. You can use 2D transfer functions and you can manipulate the pictures in real time since it's accelerated by GPU. Here's a short introducing movie.

To set the limits (maximum and minimum value) of the variable and to change the opacity, it has to switch to 1D function, as shown in the following two images:

And Here are some AstroBEAR results
