## Abstract (arXiv)

We present a pipeline for integrating NeRFs into traditional compositing VFX pipelines using Nerfstudio, an open-source framework for training and rendering NeRFs. Our approach involves using Blender, a widely used open-source 3D creation software, to align camera paths and composite NeRF renders with meshes and other NeRFs, allowing for seamless integration of NeRFs into traditional VFX pipelines. Our NeRF Blender add-on allows for more controlled camera trajectories of photorealistic scenes, compositing meshes and other environmental effects with NeRFs, and compositing multiple NeRFs in a single scene.This approach of generating NeRF aligned camera paths can be adapted to other 3D tool sets and workflows, enabling a more seamless integration of NeRFs into visual effects and film production.
