Question Shader Graphs don't work with Distance Shadowmask baking?

Hey there, I'm trying to bake in distance shadowmask mode, but while it works perfectly using Unity's default URP/Lit, it does strange things when using a default Lit Shader Graph, here's a visual demonstration :

Using Unity 2021.2.5f, latest version of URP (12.1.2)
(by the way, I'm using Bakery GPU Lightmapper, but I don't think that's an issue? Correct me if I'm wrong)

URP/Lit, inside dynamic shadow range : Dynamic shadows for everything


URP/Lit, outside of dynamic shadow range : Shadow map is applied (intended behaviour)


=============================

ShaderGraph/Default Lit Graph, inside dynamic shadow range :


ShaderGraph/Default Lit Graph, outside of dynamic shadow range : Shadow map seems to be applied but covers everything (it actually fades to shadow when I move the camera back and forth)



So I'm not really good with shader code, but I tried comparing shader graph default generated code and URP Lit to find what could be different but there are so much keywords I can't find anything.

Does anyone know how to make this work ? Should I use a custom function to compute my shadow map inside my shader graph ?

Thanks in advance !

 

Try the progressive lightmapper as well (just to rule out bakery having anything to do with this).

Otherwise, it seems like a bug with shadergraph.

 

Thanks for your answer
I tried baking with the progressive GPU in the meantime, but the result is the same (URP Lit works as intended, but shader graphs are covering everything with shadows once out of the dynamic range) :

 

Update

After some research on the URP documentartion, I found out Shadowmask was badly supported when using Deferred Rendering (which I'm using)
Switching back to Forward Renderer fixes the problem

So to be clear:
URP/Lit works with Shadowmask in both Deferred and Forward Rendering
Shader Graphs work with Shadowmask only in Forward Rendering

Hope this is a WIP and will be patched in the current version because we would really need both Deferred and Shadowmask baking
I made a bug report without adressing the Deferred vs Forward issue earlier.
