Hello,
why the shadow is not working for me on directional lights?

i used shadow caster before with pointlights and works fine, but it seems not be working on directional lights and i am not sure why, as far i understand, only Hemispheric lights do not cast shadow, but directional should

The issue is that gridMaterial doesn’t support shadows. If your remove grid material from the ground you will see the shadow.

Maybe this could help you though

Or alternatively you could cheat this, by using 2 planes, one for the grid material one for the shadows (with shadow only material).

thanks very much, i think i will apply this technique with the shadow only material, i hope they could add shadow support to grid material in the future!
