    Hi.
    It is a bit rude, but WHAT THE HECK, UNITY? Sorry.
    I've just discovered, that all meshes in LODGroup get rendered for shadow pass.
    And turning shadow casting off on all except one lods does not change anything.

    5714 objects on scene and 22893 shadowcasters. Only one meshpart, I'm sure. But ~4 lod meshes in object.
    I've just the whole performance. Is this normal?

    Encountered on Unity 2018.3.f10.

    I want to be clear. LODs are switching and I can see that, but shadowcasters are multiplied by number of lods.

    You can find out which LOD level is currently active by looking into the names of children GameObjects Renderers which are currently visible.

    I've found the problem. When I moved prefab to testbed, then LODs became broken and automatic LODGroup was not configured. So there is no problem with builtin LOD system.
