""" EXAMPLE ONLY. Renders a trained 3D Gaussian Splatting model at this challenge's test camera poses, producing images that go straight into a submission's rgb/ folder. This script targets the vanilla method from https://github.com/graphdeco-inria/gaussian-splatting: it must be run from inside a gaussian-splatting (or API-compatible fork) checkout, next to train.py/render.py, since it imports that repo's scene/gaussian_renderer/utils/arguments modules. If your submission was produced with a different method/codebase, this script will not run as-is -- adapt the model loading and rendering calls to your own repo, keeping the same camera-pose parsing (cameras.txt/images.txt) and output naming (/rgb/.png) shown below. Output: /rgb/.png is the filename stem taken from the pose file's own image names (images.txt NAME column) -- the same stem the scoring program matches submitted renderings against.
