		Introduction
		We are going to take this scene and split it into render layers for easy post-processing with shados and other cool effects.

		Our Sample Scene

		The Scene Itself
		In the scene are two objects:

		- monkey
		- ground

		As you can see right now, both objects are on the same layer.

		The layers v1

		We now need to change this so that the 'monkey' object is on layer 1 and the 'ground' object is on layer 6. You can put the objects on what ever layer you want, just make sure that they are on different layers.

		The layers v2

		Changing The Render Layers
		The first thing you have to do is go to the render layers tab of the properties editor. Currently, in it's defualt state it looks like this:

		The render layers tab

		Lets start to split the scene up into different render layers.

		The Steps To Split
		Giving each object it's own render layer:

		- Add a new render layer by clicking on the plus icon. Name it 'ground'.
		- Add another render layer and name it 'monkey'.
		- Delete the 'RenderLayer' render layer.
