I am trying to do some volume rendering based on the code at this website https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/352270/Getting-started-with-Volume-Rendering
What I am doing right now is that I have some sample 3D data (the array chBuffer is essentially a 444 test data array) and I am converting that into an OpenGL 3D Texture. After that, I am attempting to render this texture using other OpenGL commands. However, when I run the application, the screen is completely black with something showing up. Is there anything specific I am doing wrong that should fix this problem? My code is attached at the bottom.

GLuint mu3DTex;
#define MAP_3DTEXT( TexIndex ) \
glTexCoord3f(0.0f, 0.0f, ((float)TexIndex+1.0f)/2.0f); \
glVertex3f(-dOrthoSize,-dOrthoSize,TexIndex);\
glTexCoord3f(1.0f, 0.0f, ((float)TexIndex+1.0f)/2.0f); \
glVertex3f(dOrthoSize,-dOrthoSize,TexIndex);\
glTexCoord3f(1.0f, 1.0f, ((float)TexIndex+1.0f)/2.0f); \
glVertex3f(dOrthoSize,dOrthoSize,TexIndex);\
glTexCoord3f(0.0f, 1.0f, ((float)TexIndex+1.0f)/2.0f); \
