near and far values in config

[chris-nbi]

Hello, I was wondering how the near and far values were decided upon for ray sampling.
The near value = 500, far =1000 at the moment, how were this decided? and if I were to be trying on a different dataset, on what basis should I choose and near and far values?

Hi @chris-nbi ,
when estimating camera positions for your reference views, this step implicitly defines a 3D coordinate system.
Based on this system, you need to define the near and far frustum of your camera, such that the object of interest for rendering is fully within.

Best,
