In rendering, a camera is a sampling operator that maps each finite pixel to a bundle of rays. Different camera models change the geometry of this bundle, thus making a unified and faithful rendering formulation challenging. Consequently, Gaussian ray tracing supports generic cameras (with optical center) through their inverse ray mappings, yet typically reduces every pixel to a single center ray. This ignores the camera-dependent pixel footprint, causing aliasing under minification, while unconstrained Gaussians expose unsupported frequencies under magnification. We present ConeGaussian, a camera-model-agnostic anti-aliasing framework for Gaussian ray-based rendering. Instead of defining the pixel filter on a camera-specific image plane, ConeGaussian constructs an anisotropic footprint directly from neighboring rays produced by the camera's native inverse mapping. We derive a closed-form response under a locally linear, depth-local, moment-matched approximation of the finite pixel footprint, while the same geometry defines a per-Gaussian training-frequency floor. Notably, by construction, our filtering principle can be used unmodified across calibrated central camera models and multiple Gaussian ray-rendering backbones. Additionally, unlike in mip-splatting, our scene-space frequency floor and filtering enable trivial composition at render time, allowing us to remove excess blurring. On pinhole and strongly distorted fisheye captures, ConeGaussian consistently improves two distinct ray-based backbones, by up to 4.3 dB at 1/8 resolution, and reduces fisheye LPIPS by 30% where perspective screen-plane footprint formulations are not directly applicable.
