I have an issue in my VR game where looking away from a tree causes it’s shadow to vanish, it make my sunset forest scene look awful.

What can i do?

I’m having the same issues. Been searching around but so far no solutions. This seems like a basic thing, so probably I’m missing something.

No news, my fix was removing terrain tress and just making them objects.

I’m doing a lot of assuming here so please bare with.

  • you’re using hdrp
  • you’re using the terrain system
  • your terrain is instanced
  • you have 1 or more terrains
    Or
    -your terrain is split

If yes
Then it’s likely
