question about light

Question Lighting

I have not done the lighting courses yet and I'm stuck on a problem. I want the first few frames of my animation to have less light of the skytexture (or alternatively of the hdri) than in the rest of the animation. So i'd like to change the strength on a certain frame but there is not scene time in the world settings. How should I approach this? If I can't change it there is overexposure on the first few frames and the scene is too dark on the rest of the animation

    Hi Sheila,

    You can simply Keyframe the Strength:

    Alternatively (or additionally), if you're using a sky texture instead of an HDRI, you can animate the sun elevation and rotation to simulate a sunrise/sunset.

    in another setting that would work. But the thing Martin suggested was exactly what I wanted, I was just looking in the wrong place
