Question by psychomantis92 · Jul 08, 2015 at 10:09 AM · unity 5licenseunity 4.6featuresrealtime-shadows

Now are real-time shadows available in free version of Unity 4.x?

Hello everybody,i downloaded the version 5 of Unity and it is amazing! With a lot of "pro" features for free.The problem is that i can't export my project to Unity 5 because some assets are not compatible with this new version,so my question is:all that free features like the real-time shadows in 5.x are available now in Unity 4.6?

I searched a lot of info about it and some people say that in unity 4.2(and above versions) real-time shadows are now available for free license,but i updated my Unity editor to the newest version(4.6.7) and i still having the missage of "Realtime shadows requires Unity pro".It is a fake and that features are only available for free license in Unity 5?or i'm doing something wrong?

Thank you.

Although the specific feature mentioned, real-time shadows, of a single directional light, was introduced to Free in Unity 4.2 :)

You are right...i thought that that "unlock" of the pro features would be implemented in prior versions too.
