(Silly question)HDRP shadow distance/detail/quality 2020.1.5f1

So first off, please treat me as you would a child with this question :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I have been messing around with HDRP shadows and having the issue of distance being too short at the quality level I want, am I missing a way to get a better distance? As they seem to fade no matter how I fiddle with the HDRP settings for shadows. I feel like im missing something.

If anyone can help or point me towards the correct settings I would appreciate it.

Hey @Green-Thumb-Studios , I’m not 100% sure if this is what you want but you can modify distance of the shadow cascades by adding a Shadow Override to an existing volume to fine tune them according to your setup.

By default, there’s already a shadow override in the HDRP Default Settings (Edit > Project Settings > HDRP Default Settings > Volume component section) with some default value.
