Realistic 3D simulation is becoming a cornerstone of modern AI and graphics, from training autonomous vehicles (AV) to powering robotics and digital twins. Neural rendering techniques like NeRFs and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have revolutionized how 3D scenes are reconstructed and visualized from raw sensor data. In this post, we introduce the implementation of 3D Gaussian Unscented��

As ray tracing becomes the predominant rendering technique in modern game engines, a single GPU RayGen shader can now perform most of the light simulation of a frame. To manage this level of complexity, it becomes necessary to observe a decomposition of shader performance at the HLSL or GLSL source-code level. As a result, shader profilers are now a must-have tool for optimizing ray tracing.
