Wooden altar missing bottom surfaces

Recommended Posts

When viewed from below, wooden altars are missing the underside surfaces.

In this case, it is on the second story of a building.

Looks like its a case of back face culling - not rendering the reverse-side of surfaces, which are never normally seen, in order to save time/resources.

 

The underside of the saddle is the same - you would think it would never be seen by anyone, but sat behind a cart/wagon horse I'm staring through it all day. :)

Shouldn't the underside be a separate surface from the top, though, since it's a finite distance away from it (the altar has finite thickness)?

Even if there were 2 surfaces, if both their lower faces are culled, you won't see either. :)
