Hi Sam,

Embree/pyembree are only useful for unstructured mesh data, *not* hexahedral mesh data. I don't think support for volume rendering hexahedral mesh data has been added to yt.

Dear yt-users,

I have had generally a very smooth ride in the past using yt for volume rendering of data on a uniform Cartesian grid. Now, however, I am trying to do similar things with data on a non-uniform Cartesian grid, having loaded it in with load_hexahedral_mesh.

I managed to get embree, pyembree built together with yt version 3.3-dev. I can create the hexahedral dataset with no problem (at least no errors), but when I try to create a scene in which to do some volume rendering I get the error copied below. I think I must doing something wrong but I don't know what!

Thanks and Best Wishes,
Sam
