Hi Lawrence,
3D textures should work just fine with Performer 3.0 AND 2.5. I am not so
sure about the volume demo however.
Alternatively, you can either write the code yourself using OpenGL or use
the OpenGL Volumizer loader that ships with Performer (libpfvz). The latter
requires you to simply specify your 3D texture data and takes care of all
the volume rendering for you using Volumizer.
Cheers,
Praveen
