If we want to support more complex Shaders, such as Blur, Depth of Field, and other effects, we need to work with the code to build it. Simply put, Gaussian blur takes every pixel on an image and processes it with the following process. Final pixel value = sum of all (pixels * weights). name : the effect’s name.

I recommend avoiding careless payload usage, though adding complex code to pack values is rarely beneficial. Reducing code and data divergence within hit shaders is helpful, especially with incoherent rays. Avoid direct conversion from vertex and pixel shaders. Consider moving common code outside of hit and miss shaders.
