Making time-lapse shadow studies

- We're going to make a time-lapse animation in this video.…Open the Landscape08 exercise file to follow along.…Let's start by making a test render.…As you can see, the rendering is going to take a while,…because we're using the advanced…lighting plugin the Light Tracer and the Skylight.…Let's cancel.…If we're going to make a time-lapse…we're going to have to render a lot of frames,…so it would be good to find a way to make…the rendering process faster…Let's go to the Render Setup dialog box.…
