Depth of field in Advanced 3D comps uses the camera's iris (Fast Rectangle, Triangle to
Decagon, rotation, roundness, aspect, diffraction fringe) and highlight gain/threshold/
saturation through the Classic 3D bokeh kernel. Collapsed precomps in an Advanced 3D comp
add their nested layers as real geometry (meshes, extrusions, cards) lit by the parent;
2D collapsed precomps draw nested 3D layers with the parent's renderer. Text and shape
strokes extrude as bevelled meshes stacked in paint order (model extrude_stacked).

Planes prepared for the GPU carry their depth of field (padding, radius map, levels) and the
bokeh_boost / bokeh_prefix / bokeh_gather kernels blur them where they are drawn, with the CPU's
spans; GPU-vs-CPU agreement tests for iris shapes, highlights, fringe, Fast Rectangle, tilted
planes and a 2D layer with a 3D track matte.

Preview panel: five shortcuts (Spacebar, Shift+Spacebar, Numpad 0, Shift+Numpad 0,
Alt+Numpad 0) each with saved options (include video/audio/overlays/layer controls, loop,
cache before playback, range incl. play around current time, play from, frame rate, skip,
resolution, full screen, play cached frames, move time to preview time), persisted in
prefs; playback.settings.get/set; the playback loop follows the preview plan.
Align panel: layer.align {edge, to} and layer.distribute {mode} engine commands (bounds
through transform and parents, one undo step); Align Layers to dropdown and Distribute row.

CharStyle/TextDoc variations (layer.setText variations), shaped with harfrust instances so
advances follow HVAR/gvar, outlines drawn at the design-space position, animator deltas relative
to the style's values, Character panel Variable Font Axes fields (character.axis.<tag>).

nonAffineTransform and the warp descriptor (named styles with bend / distortion, custom
envelope quilt meshes via ObAr meshPoints) are baked as placed over the placed bounds
(SourceLayer::placed), at up to 4x resolution.

Render Settings: field render with 3:2 pulldown phases, effects/solo/guide
layer/color depth/frame blending/motion blur overrides, custom time sampling
(duration), storage overflow through a quota hook. Output Module: crop
(edges or region of interest), resize (presets, lock aspect, quality),
straight/premultiplied/alpha-only channels, post-render actions, include
project link, audio channels and PCM formats, WebM bitrate and key frame
interval. Render Settings / Output Module templates with built-ins and
defaults per slot (Edit > Templates dialogs), render logs next to the
output, Notify on completion. All through renderQueue.* commands and
persisted in the project.
