Dot for a shadow on my third person controller character

Hello,

I'm new to Unity, and I have a lot of bugs with my game right now.

One of the main ones is how my character just has a dot that floats alongside her for her shadow. The shadows on everything else work fine.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? I've tried to attach an image from Imgur. The dot shadow is on the left of the girl.



Thank you.

 

Make sure that shadow casting is enabled in your skinned-mesh renderer.

Also, what shader are using for your character? I'm pretty sure some types of shaders don't cast shadows (like transparent shaders for example).

 

I switched my shader and it works great now! Thanks!
