    Hi, I have another issues with Shadows – I’ve this problem before and it turned out I didn’t have shadows turned on in the viewport & I was hiding a light by accident in the puzzles. I’ve checked both of those things in this scene but I still have no directional shadows (have only 1 directional light in the scene with depth map shadows turned on, both sneak peak & exported full scene with puzzles don’t have direct shadows.

    Any ideas?

    Can you share the scene file?

    You have a scale on the lamp, return it to 1,1,1 and shadow will work and better to keep all scene in real world size it’s very huge and will be a problem to setup a good shadows for the scene.

    Ah okay, I didn’t know scaling the directional light affected that! I think my scene is real world size – units are in CM and my building is about 500 units across. Either way it solved it, thank you!
