Soft Realtime Shadows in Unity Free?

Unity Engine
1

Hello there Unity Community.

I booted up Unity today and became really happy seeing that there was real time shadows on my objects. At first I just had to check the other features to make sure I didn’t accidentally turn on the pro trial, which I had not, so I hope really much that this isn’t something they will remove again.

Anyway, like said I love the shadows, but I can’t help to wonder if the Soft shadows are still Pro-only? I’ve fiddled around with the settings but they aren’t becoming any softer than the hard shadows.

So I have to ask, is Soft Realtime Shadows still a Pro only feature or do I have my settings wrong?

In the Free version you have hard shadows for one directional light. Soft shadows are still Pro only.

Okay, too bad then. I had hoped they would allow more use than that. Specially more than one light. :confused:

Soft shadows are possible in Unity Free with the Shadow Softener tool.
