Methodology Our rendering pipeline uses 3D triangles as primitives, each defined by three learnable 3D vertices, color, opacity, and a smoothness parameter \( \sigma \). The triangles are projected onto the image plane using a standard pinhole camera model with known intrinsics and extrinsics. Instead of binary masks, we introduce a smooth window function that softly modulates the triangle's influence across pixels. This function is derived from the 2D signed distance field (SDF) of the triang
