## TL;DR

Neural rendering uses learned scene representations to synthesize views, from NeRF to 3D Gaussian Splatting. This repair maps rendering claims to primary papers.

## Core Explanation

The prior article had weak source coverage. This version keeps three direct claims about NeRF, mip-NeRF, and 3D Gaussian Splatting.
