I pretty much just shut up and did as I was told this week. The lecture slides were pretty complete, and I just needed a bit of help in understanding the basics of how the software architecture was supposed to come together.

I thought about making the volume rendering into a texture, but there didn't seem to be enough justification for doing so. In the end I figured that, because we were already building on code that was provided for us, I had better just stick with the original interface that the provided code was intended for.
