I am having one heck of a time with real-time shadows and even creating light-maps in Unity.
(My great success is I can get a Unity created cube to create a lightmap on the terrain … nut’n else… )
I’m sure the obvious question is: are you using Unity Pro? I wish my answer could be just as obvious… I paid for Unity Pro and downloaded and installed the registration code. Nothing looked any different. I assumed the Pro edition was installed as I don’t see the Unity screen when I publish builds. Is there any way to confirm all of the Unity Pro features are installed? …because I sure as heck can’t create shadows…
Unity Pro isn’t something you install. There’s only one Unity app; if you have a valid Unity Pro license then Unity Pro features work, and if not, then they don’t. (Except in the case of certain bugs where Pro features could start working without Pro under certain circumstances, but I think those have been fixed. )
sure you set the terrain to pixel light and had a usefull shadow range for usage on regular terrains (300 is pretty short if you have larger objects and a flat directional light casting long shadows)
1 and 2 are both right and technically that should also cast shadows onto the terrain together with the pixel light setting on the terrain.
Don’t forget that the shadow casting on the terrain is also bound to the terrain settings itself (think the detail range but might be basedistance. I’ve been working primarily with the unity iphone the past months when it comes to setup scenery etc)
… nut’n else… )
