So if I activate that shadow catcher, we can see a difference between the main, the shadow, and we also create a take for our positions as well. But in the render settings, let's focus on our shadow render settings. So token is a simple text variable and you can use them in path and file names. So that means if I create a token, and you can use this little drop down arrow here for my project. So just come down to here, and the token is $PRJ.
