NVIDIA's RGBX-Next: diffusion models as learned renderers, speculated as DLSS 5

ssh4net · x · 2026-08-19

NVIDIA published RGBX-Next: Towards Realistic Generative Rendering from G-Buffers, authored by rendering team members including Marco Salvi and Miloš Hašan.

Key idea: diffusion models excel at image/video generation but lack precise control compared to traditional 3D rendering. The paper proposes using generative models as learned renderers conditioned on traditionally rendered G-buffers.

RGBX-Next is a unified framework for forward and inverse rendering: it estimates G-buffers from images, videos, and streams, and renders realistic images, videos, and streams from G-buffers. The poster speculates this could be DLSS 5.
