Work Step by Step

The process of hidden-surface removal is more complex than back face elimination because hidden-surface removal involves identifying and removing objects or parts of objects that are obscured by other objects in a scene. This requires more computational resources and algorithms to accurately determine which surfaces are hidden from the viewer's perspective. Back face elimination, on the other hand, simply involves identifying and removing surfaces that are facing away from the viewer, which is a relatively simpler task.
