Missing Shadows#

Resolution#

On the Light component, ensure that:

• Mode is set to either Real Time or Mixed.
• Shadow Type is set to either Hard or Soft shadows.
• Culling Mask includes the layers that cast and receive shadows.
• Realtime Shadows>Strength is set high enough to be visible.

On the renderer component we want to cast shadows, ensure that:

• Lighting>Cast Shadows is enabled.

Built-in render pipeline#

In the Quality settings, ensure that:

• Shadows is enabled, set to include the shadow type used by the light.
• Max Shadow Distance is set high enough. This value is the distance from the camera, not from the light.

Scriptable render pipelines (URP, HDRP)#

In the render pipeline asset, ensure that:

• LightingMain Light/Additional LightsCast Shadows are enabled depending on what type of light you're using.
• ShadowsMax Distance is set high enough. This value is the distance from the camera, not from the light.
