Comparison of the following postings for time and picture quality suggests
that there is some interesting work to be done on this kind of problem.

It is not quite certain what the original poster was after. But I usually
find ContourPlot3D so agonizingly slow and crude that I far prefer to use
ParametricPlot3D if I can generate the parametrization. But for a quick and
dirty filling in of the volume, what about this:

Needs["Graphics`Colors`"]

Show[Graphics3D[
      {AbsolutePointSize[5], Blue,
        Table[If[x^2 + y^2 + z^2 <= 1, Point[{x, y, z}], {}], {x, -2, 2,
            0.2}, {y, -2, 2, 0.2}, {z, -2, 2, 0.2}]}]] // Timing
{0.33 Second, - Graphics3D -]
