Shadow Study node

The Vi-Suite Shadow Study node uses an in-built function of Blender to check whether faces of the Blender geometry can see the sun at each time step of the simulation period. The Shadow Study node then composites these results to determine what proportion of time a face is in shade. A typical node set-up is shown in figure below.
