VMD already has file-reader plugins for several volumetric data formats,
including CCP4 maps. A list of supported file formats, organized by
type, can be found here:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/molfile/

Volumetric data sets are loaded like any other file; they can be loaded
into a new molecule, or added to an existing one. Two graphical
representations can be used for the visualization of volumetric data:
Isosurface and Volume Slice.
