     for training and evaluation by setting `self.sampling_mode_training`
     and `self.sampling_mode_training` accordingly.
 
-    The class allows two modes of sampling points along the rays:
-        1) Sampling between fixed near and far z-planes:
-            Active when `self.scene_extent <= 0`, samples points along each ray
-            with approximately uniform spacing of z-coordinates between
-            the minimum depth `self.min_depth` and the maximum depth `self.max_depth`.
-            This sampling is useful for rendering scenes where the camera is
-            in a constant distance from the focal point of the scene.
-        2) Adaptive near/far plane estimation around the world scene center:
-            Active when `self.scene_extent > 0`. Samples points on each
-            ray between near and far planes whose depths are determined based on
-            the distance from the camera center to a predefined scene center.
-            More specifically,
-            `min_depth = max(
-                (self.scene_center-camera_center).norm() - self.scene_extent, eps
-            )` and
-            `max_depth = (self.scene_center-camera_center).norm() + self.scene_extent`.
-            This sampling is ideal for object-centric scenes whose contents are
-            centered around a known `self.scene_center` and fit into a bounding sphere
-            with a radius of `self.scene_extent`.
-
-        Similar to the sampling mode, the sampling parameters can be set separately
-        for training and evaluation.
+    The class allows to adjust the sampling points along rays by overwriting the
+    `AbstractMaskRaySampler._get_min_max_depth_bounds` function which returns
+    the near/far planes (`min_depth`/`max_depth`) `NDCMultinomialRaysampler`.
 
     Settings:
         image_width: The horizontal size of the image grid.
         image_height: The vertical size of the image grid.
-        scene_center: The xyz coordinates of the center of the scene used
-            along with `scene_extent` to compute the min and max depth planes
-            for sampling ray-points.
-        scene_extent: The radius of the scene bounding sphere centered at `scene_center`.
-            If `scene_extent <= 0`, the raysampler samples points between
-            `self.min_depth` and `self.max_depth` depths instead.
