No, there is no mesh. A NeRF is a neural network trained to work as a function f(x, y, z, θ, φ). You put in your viewing position (x, y, z) in 3D space and the direction (θ, φ) you're looking into (where θ and φ are the angles for up/down and left/right, respectively), and the function will output a tuple (r, g, b, σ) of the colour (r, g, b) and the material density (σ) of whatever you see at the pixel in that direction and from that position. You can generate a mesh from the density information this function gives you, but for that you need to discretise the continuous densities you get out.
