## Detailed Description

QCullFace sets whether the front or back facets are culled. Facets include triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons and rectangles.

It can be added by calling the addRenderState() method on a QRenderPass:

     // using namespace Qt3DRender;

     QRenderPass *renderPass = new QRenderPass();

     // Create a front face culling render state
     QCullFace *cullFront = new QCullFace();
     cullFront->setMode(QCullFace::Front);

     // Add the render state to the render pass
     renderPass->addRenderState(cullFront);

Or by calling the addRenderState() method on a QRenderStateSet:

     // using namespace Qt3DRender;

     QRenderStateSet *renderStateSet = new QRenderStateSet();

     // Create a front face culling render state
     QCullFace *cullFront = new QCullFace();
     cullFront->setMode(QCullFace::Front);

     // Add the render state to the render pass
     renderStateSet->addRenderState(cullFront);
