I feel like I learned nearly nothing from the process of doing this project, with the exception of (1) the concept of "metaballs" and how to think about/render them, and (2) the fact that ray tracing exists on DirectX. If you were to ask me to use DXR in any fashion going forward, I would start off now with no better footing than when this project began. The educational process of "we deleted 10% of the lines of code from a working project, fill them in based on hints" was frustrating at best, and cryptic and useless at worst. I would recommend either dropping the CPU-side code of the project entirely, or actually preparing students, via IN-CLASS instruction, on how it operates.
