BrainRenderer is the only object in disp3D that talks directly to QRhi. It creates the shader pipelines for every DISP3DLIB::ShaderMode (Standard Phong, Holographic, Anatomical, Dipole arrows, XRay, ShowNormals), allocates the dual rtClear / rtPreserve render targets needed for the multi-pass cortex + overlay composition, and issues per-frame beginPass / drawIndexed calls for every visible scene object.

The renderer packs camera matrices, light direction and the active overlay mode (DISP3DLIB::BrainRenderer::SceneData) into one uniform slot per draw. All slots and uploads of a frame are prepared before its render pass, which then only binds and draws.

All scene objects (DISP3DLIB::BrainSurface, DISP3DLIB::DipoleObject, DISP3DLIB::NetworkObject, DISP3DLIB::VideoOverlay) are accepted through opaque pointers so the renderer never pulls in the heavy headers of the modalities it draws.
