Style - Determine how your model will look.
Camera Perspective - Position your camera to the view you want to see, and configure your field of view and perspective settings.
Background Depth - Set how deep into the model you want to see by using object masks or fog.

Foreground Depth - Set the viewing plane depth at which you begin to see objects in your scene.
Visible Objects - Control what\'s visible in your scene by hiding or unhiding layers.
