Excellent. I had a look at that a few months ago when you posted about it
and I was wondering...
Can you do a MipSplat? (I mean can one do it, rather can you do it?) I have
been evaluating different volume rendering stuff recently and may even be
able to spend some time modifying existing classes soon. Hence my interest
in the shearwarp stuff.

RawImage->MipPriorityFilter(picks top N
points)->Generatepointlist->SplatPoints in low->high priority order.

Can it be done? (drawing points low to high gives decent mip, but there's no
"fill-in" between points. using a splat type approach might make it look
better).
