No shadow at distance for directional light

Hello,

I want my directional light to not cast shadow on my terrain at a certain distance.
I found online about Distance field shadow, but I can’t seem to find any option to do so.

For exemple, if I have a mountain far away, I don’t want my light to cast light but rather have it completely dark, like a silhouette.

Do you know how I can achieve this result ?
Thank you

You could turn it’s lighting channel off

More typical ways would be

  1. Make the directional light shine from the other side of the mountain

  2. Make the time of day nearer to sunrise or sunset

True, but It doesn’t work for terrain

Thought it was a mesh :slight_smile: But see the other ideas…
