    Hello... So, I've been importing a few Skybox packages today - and one of them, somehow seems to have stopped my shadows from working on my main scene.
    If i make a new scene, a simple plane and a cube - i have a shadow - it's fine. If i then prefab that plane and cube and bring it to my main scene - the shadow doesn't show.
    There is definitely the same Directional light in my main scene. The quality settings have shadows enabled. I have the same skybox on both scenes and the same lighting settings as far as i can see. Hmmm, but, all my shadows have stopped working on my main scene. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

    Ah... ok I found what the problem was I think. I had a huge squashed sphere as the ground object... huge... and i think that was possibly stretching the shadowmap or something so they weren't visible... When i turned up the shadow distance to very big... i could see really blurry, broken looking shadows around objects. I removed this huge ground and all was well.
