Realtime shadows for the new Unity Plus
Hi. I've been googling a lot and I can't find this specific information anywhere.
I just want to know if the new Unity Plus has realtime baking for point and spot lights, like in the old Unity Pro.
Thank you.
What do you mean by "real-time baking"? Isn't that an oxymoron?
Either way, since Unity 5.x, all versions of Unity licence have had access to identical engine features so, if Pro has it, Plus (and Free) will have it too.
By realtime baking I mean the option on the inspector. When you use a light and select it, there's a "Baking" option for it. If you choose realtime, shadows will be cast at runtime and change direction as the light moves. That feature is not available for Point and Spot lights on Unity Free, even after version 5.x.
$$anonymous$$y project REQUIRES shadows for Point lights, and that's the only reason I have Unity Pro.
So "realtime" in that dropdown means "no baking, realtime ins$$anonymous$$d". And that feature is available for point and spot lights in all versions of Unity 5.x - you don't need Plus or Personal. 
I guess my knowledge was outdated. Thank you.
