Question by JasonRhai · May 15, 2013 at 08:02 AM · terrainshadows

shadows on Basic?

I have Unity Basic but I don't see any shadows on ANYTHING. My question is: Am I able to enable shadows on anything? Preferably Objects/Terrain objects such as trees. If so, how would I go about doing so?

And to be more specific, I acknowledge that Unity Pro has 'dynamic shadows', I'm just curious as to if there are any 'static' shadows that I can hopefully make my landscapes look a little better than they currently do without any shadows. Thanks in advance!

@Jason, let me edit that question title for you since I really love doing that man. Next time you post a question, give it a really really long title so I again get a chance to practice this awesome skill O$$anonymous$$!

Thanks for the assistance, and I apologize for making the title so long. It was a bit misleading and I didn't know that the 'put your question here' was actually the title. At the same time, I was assu$$anonymous$$g the 'extra details' were just optional and what not. I'll keep that in $$anonymous$$d though!

please "TIC$$anonymous$$" any useful answer (notice the round TIC$$anonymous$$ symbol to the LEFT of answers, below), as it is good practice to close out questions and you get karma points for doing so.

Yes you can have shadows but only those baked with Lightmapping. See this: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/Lightmapping.html

You can also use projector shadows for moving characters etc (not real shadows but blobs that can look pretty convincing). See this: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Components/class-Projector.html
