I tried to play with it but I am unable to see any difference in my test renders. Does anyone knows what it is for?

Hi Mychelle,

Hither & yon. ..... ah yes ...

It means ... Here & there.

The hither controls the near (or here) "clipping plane" ... that is, where things in the studio (unrendered) become visible.

The yon controls the far (or there) "clipping plane" ... where things (unrendered) become visible.

Hither and yon are "don't cares" when rendered.

They can be used to "mask" near and far areas in unrendered pictures to reduce the "clutter" and allow you to see a certain area more clearly.

cheers,

Look in the reference manual, page 137. "The yon parameter sets the farther range of the clipping plane. Objects farther from the camera than the yon distance will not appear in your view plane. The yon parameter is only applicable with OpenGL hardware rendering." Hope it helps...
