4.12.5 preview shadow issue on mobile and PIE

Hi Tim,

thanks for quick and detail response. Let me sum up the situation on my end first:

  1. Especially TeamKingdom stated this issue on other threads and staff member RCaloca also stated that it will be fixed on 4.6 (or 4.7 something like that) But interesting part is that there is no clear answer for this issue since that time like it’s been fixed for good nobody complaining. But Mobile platform has this dynamic light problem, especially on android i think.

  2. What you say is certain about dynamic lighting like mobile can’t cast dynamic shadows ? Because i believe if i use directional light or skylight, it can cast dynamic shadows right ? This is the only way to cast shadows i suppose.

  3. Related to above , In my scene ( see img1) there are couple of dynamic movable spot lights. It’s a indoor scene , and the colorful lights are moving lights , think about disco lights. I’m explaining this part a bit long because you said “Dynamic lighting on mobile does not shadow cast for point lights”. In img1, the colorful pink lights that you see are not point lights, they are dynamic movable spot lights that give colorful changing lights. I just wanted to clarify this part(I can upload a small video if necessary).

  4. I know that it’s really expensive feature. But I’m just wondering about it maybe it could be possible in very low texture. So in order to use dynamic movable changable lights and shadows in the scene for mobile, only way is to use directional light and skylight right ?

edit: here a sample video from the scene. this is in viewport preview for windows. https://sendvid.com/rsyy8gez
