Hi everyone,  
I am trying to render multivolumes inside paraviews. Both volumes are rendered using volume rendering mode GPU based. When I enable both volumes to view, one volume does not rendering correctly on top of the other one.

when I enable raytracing. The volume are render correctly, however, the colors of the 3d volumes changes and I can not render using Optix pathtracer. Paraview is very slows and does only CPU rendering. I have RTX 6000 GPU, however, I am not able to render using the Optix pathtracer in the GPU.
