ADOBE DIRECTOR BASICS
3D: Controlling action
A plane model prevents the user from seeing the box models
The 3D rendering engine first renders each of the 100 boxes, and then renders the Plane model. The time taken to
render the boxes is wasted. If you select the Hide Boxes check box, all 100 boxes are removed from the world. Apart
from the two lines of pixels where the boxes have been deliberately left visible, this changes nothing in the final
rendering. However, the frame rate is greatly improved.
Removing the hidden boxes from the world improves the frame rate by 50%
Conclusion: If you know that certain models will not be visible from the current camera viewpoint, manually remove
them from the world to improve performance. You can return them to the world when the camera moves to a position
from where they models will be visible.
Antialiasing
In an animated scene, the user may not have time to focus on all the visual details. In I static scene, the details are
important. Switching antialiasing on and off at the appropriate times can improve the end user’s overall appreciation
of your work.
