I’m using Paraview to visualize our geomechanical simulation program. Each time we open a .vtu file, we get the following warning message.  
 ![pv_error](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/6/652d87c1870fa98ad9712ec38bfb32c59eaa061c.png)

It seems this warning does not affect the visualization. However, this warning is quite annoying. I wonder whether there is any alternative function to this deprecated vtkvolumetexturemapper3d.

Welcome to the ParaView community, Beiqi Li.

The only way to stop that warning message is to move to a newer version of ParaView that no longer uses vtkVolumeTextureMapper3D.
