How to force shadow details appear at longer distance?

[ClockworkOcean]

@Araklaj

I am working on a flat-looking art-style that is dependent on shadows highlighting the details in meshes, however I can’t figure out if it is possible to make shadows on finer detail appear a bit further away. Since we have a locked third-person camera many objects lack their shadow details and will never get them since players won’t zoom in close enough. Is it possible to force them appear from further away somehow?
