Question by pointcube · Apr 18, 2013 at 08:35 AM · iosiphoneshadowipad

Are soft shadows supported on iOS ?

Hello, I am trying to get soft shadows work. On standalone version it's OK, but it seems that in iOS export (on my iPad 3) it doesn't work. I only have hard shadows. Are soft shadows supported on iOS? Is there any alternative?

Thanks.

David.

Has anyone had any success with soft shadows on iOS?

I tinkered some with AutoLight.cginc, based on what I found here.

My file is included.

I have tried this with various GL settings, usually with Errors like this when building plus a dark modellink text:

 Shader error in 'Shader Forge/AlphaWithShadows': cannot access field `x' of non-structure / non-vector; type mismatch at line 59
