Shadow resolution higher than "Very High"?

Question

I find that the edges of shadows in unity are very jagged/pixelated even on the highest resolution setting. Is there a way to set the resolution higher than this? If there is now way to do this natively in unity is there an asset that does this or fixes this problem in another way (e.g smoothing the edges ) ? alt text

what you see are the pixels on the texture rendered from the point of view of light. It's called shadowmap, and just like a normal texture, it consist from texels.

Look for stencil shadows or PCF shadows on asset store

As far as I know, the answer is no, but you can improve the... effective resolution of the shadowmap by going into ProjectSettings->Quality and sliding the first cascade split as close as still looks good. That will make all the close range shadows much nicer, but will bring the area covered by the second cascade closer as well (but then you can move the second cascade split closer, and then repeat for the other cascades until you get the best compromise you can.
