Question by Unity Ninja · Aug 06, 2014 at 08:40 AM · lightingshadow

Why the shadows be pixelated?

Check out this image. Why are the shadows pixelated? I'm using soft shadows with very high resolution. What other settings can affect this?

EDIT: I also want to add that I'm comparing my results to this - http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Lightmapping.html and although I'm using soft shadows as well, my results are no where close to this.

Your image is not displayed on my machine. Looks like a dead link or other loading error.

Ok found what's wrong. Setting shadow type to 'soft shadows' hardly matters as much as setting the shadow radius and shadow samples in lightmapping options, when it comes to actually achieving soft shadows.

Problem of very high shadows draw distance or very little object (and a lot of zoom in. Check also shadows cascades, use Close Fit. Light mapped shadows arent realtime shadows. Are fixed shadows

How could you not see that and have exactly the same first sentence while also having the other part added without editing this answer?

What are you doing?
