Backface Culling
You can select this option to switch on backface culling.
Backface culling hides an object’s concealed points and edges. If you disable
backface culling, you will still see objects behind other objects in wireframe
display mode.
Safe Frames
Render
Action Safe
Safe frames are areas that will be in full view when played back on the target medium.
Render Safe
If this option is enabled, the boundaries of the lm format are shown in the viewport. The aspect ratio
of the lm format is determined by the renderer.
Title Safe, Size
If this option is enabled, a frame is shown in the 3D viewport. To change the size of the frame, enter
a new percentage value into the Size box. The percentage is based on the lm format that is selected
in the render settings. Title Safe marks out a region in which it is safe to place opening credits, nal
credits and other text, where there will be a minimum of distortion when the movie is played back
on the target medium.
Many television sets have a dome-shaped picture-tube whose curvature increases towards the edges.
Pictures displayed on these sets tend to be distorted at the edges. Text such as lm titles should not
be placed in these areas.
