    Hi!

    Is it possible to turn off Distance Shadowmask for specific objects? I want some shadows to stay totally baked and others to use Distance Shadowmask.

    Thanks

    In HDRP, you can specify shadowmask mode for punctual lights per-light basis. Look for the toggle underneath the Shadows header in the light inspector.

    Built-in render pipeline does not support this feature.

    Feels like a useful thing to be in built-in render pipeline too.
    My problem is that mountain's shadow is very far away, thus very blurry when lightmapped. Realtime shadows are too sharp to blend nicely with baked blurry shadows in distance shadowmask mode.

    Ačiū :)
