Question Spotlights not casting shadows in BiRP

Hi there,

I'm attempting to use a Spot light to light my scene, and while it illuminates things the way I'd expect, nothing casts shadows, even though they do when using a Directional light. Is this the expected behavior? If not, how do I get the Spot light to cast shadows?

I've seen this issue discussed at length using URP, but nothing in BiRP.

I've tried playing with all the settings on the light, to no avail. Unity 2022.3.9f1.

 

There is not much to it. Just enable shadows on the spot light. You might also want to make sure they are realtime lights unless you want to bake them.



Also make sure that the objects that you are illuminating, cast and receive shadows (that's on by default).

 

Solved; the material that was receiving the shadows needed to have "fullforwardshadows" added to its shader. I appreciate your help!

 

Interesting. Didn't know that. Thanks for sharing your solution. Glad you figured it out.

 

Thank you for your help!
