Blender Quick Tips No.3 | Reduce Render Times in Blender

#blender #animation
You can increase the speed of your renders by only rendering the stuff that moves. Create your scene then move your background to its own collection. Render ONLY the background and save the image. Create a second view layer and set the background collection holdout flag. Enable transparency in the render settings, and check Render single layer in the view layer settings. Render the moving objects and combine the background image with the moving objects in the compositor.

Doesn't this make it so there's no shadows from the objects now?
