Fix Low Poly Shadows in Unity

An example of light shining through low poly objects in Unity

The default shadow settings in the Unity Universal Render Pipeline do not look very good for low poly objects. Here’s a simple fix that seems to work quite well.

• Open up your project settings (Edit > Project Settings) and select the Graphics section.

• Double click on the item in your Scriptable Render Pipeline Settings field (UniversalRP-HighQuality in my case)

• Click on the Inspector tab to view the settings

• Find the Shadows section

• Turn the Normal Bias down to 0

Your shadows should look much better now!
