Sprites With Shadows?

Unity Engine

Hey! RiokuTheSlayer here, wondering something. I’ve searched around for a while, and I can’t seem to make sprites cast shadows, no matter what. Here’s pretty much what I’m shooting for, with some quickly drawn sprites and stuff. This is made in Blender, so It wasn’t hard to do.

As you can see, all the pieces cast shadows. Here’s what I have set up so far:

From what I’ve collected, the Cutout/Diffuse should work, but it obviously doesn’t. And shadows are actually being casted, because of the cube i have set up right there. Anyone know what’s up?

The issue is that you’re using a SpriteRenderer. SpriteRenderer by default does not cast/receive shadows. You can enable that functionality by setting receiveShadows=true

Where do I change reciveShadows to true? It’s not on SpriteRenderer, unlike the MeshRenderer
