When player is walking on terrrain, around him Unity is rendering shadow coming from directional light.
But after some radius in the distance, shadows are not rendered.
Only when player walks close to some prefab, shadow is being drawn.
This is not very realistic. I would like that shadows are visible in the distance as in real terrain.
How to fix that ?
You probably need to increase the radius of the light source.
Unity models light using the Inverse Square Law, so the farther from the source, the less light hits the target, and thus the less distinct the shadow.
Also, ensure that the mesh is set to Receive Shadows, and the player is set to Cast Shadows.
You can have a look at the shadow distance settings in your project : if it is low, the shadows for real time lights will not be rendered in the distance, which allows for better performance but causes the effect you are describing.
