The demo at http://uvcdat.llnl.gov/examples/vcs3D_cubed_sphere_volume.html returns the following error:

@danlipsa @scottwittenburg so using the code I do get an image but it does not seem to be centered properly. Using x.interact() does trigger an update and seems to rotate partially the globe. Manually turning the globe to the corrrect angle does show the same mage (more or less vtk changes)
