                renderingshadowmap  
              
 
              Why am I getting shadow strange artifacts?
I have only one directional light in the scene with it's render mode set to per-pixel with hard shadows turned on, while the render path is set to forward rendering. Can anyone help me understand that why am I getting these strange shadow artifacts?

Inspect your terrain closely, the terrain resolution might be the problem.
In some cases when importing a heightmap or making steep cliffs, the edges on the terrain become jagged and they are pretty hard to notice without shadows.
Try moving your light source around or try using the terrain smooth brush on the edges to make them less jagged.
