In computer graphics, backface culling is a technique that can be used to improve the performance of 3D rendering by not rendering the back faces of 3D objects. Backface culling works by determining if a face is facing away from the camera and then not rendering it if it is.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Backface culling can be a significant performance improvement for 3D scenes that contain a lot of 3D objects. This is because the back faces of 3D objects are not visible to the camera, so there is no need to render them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Here is an example of how backface culling is used in computer graphics:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
