Which aspect of a camera's configuration can significantly alter scene visibility?

The clipping planes of a camera are crucial in determining what parts of the scene are rendered and visible to the player. They define the near and far limits of the camera’s view. The near clipping plane determines how close an object can be to the camera before it is no longer rendered, while the far clipping plane sets the maximum distance at which objects remain visible. If an object is situated closer than the near clipping plane or further than the far clipping plane, it will not be displayed in the scene. This can have a profound impact on gameplay and visual experience, as it controls the depth of the scene and can obscure important elements if not configured correctly.

The other aspects, such as position, field of view, and resolution, do influence how a scene is viewed but do not inherently restrict the visibility of objects in the same way that clipping planes do. Position affects what the camera sees based on its location, field of view changes how wide the camera's perspective is, and resolution relates to the quality of the image rendered but doesn’t directly control which objects are within the visible range.
