Shadows not rendering correctly

    I recently noticed that the shadows being cast in my project are not casting correctly. I'm not quite sure how to explain it, so here are some screenshots of my issue:






    I have changed the bias on my light to 0, which makes the gap in the shadows slightly smaller, but still quite ugly.


    Has anyone encountered this issue before, or know how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    Don't use point lights? :)

    So there's no way to use point lights without this occuring?

    Directional light?:eek: Anyone? No? :(

    Also I suspect your cube is raised off the floor. Try overlapping the cube and floor by lowering the cube. If all fails then you can reset your light to default.

    Spotlights are also better in this regard.

    Have you experimented with changing the Shadow project type within the quality settings?

    There are two different methods for projecting shadows from a directional light.
    Close Fit renders higher resolution shadows but they can sometimes wobble slightly if the camera moves.
    Stable Fit renders lower resolution shadows but they don’t wobble with camera movements.
