Sorry for bad english (im not english:| )

Lets Face It Realtime Shadows are very low quality and instead of making work arounds i think we need to fix it and i found the proplem of the current shadow system. so after some testing i found that if you set the shadow detail factor to 0.001 its very high quality but theres a problem you see the better the quality of the shadows the lower the shadow draw distance becomes. so all we need to fix is that it doesnt decrease the shadows draw distance. im looking at making a plugin but its gonna take some time but atleast i have found the problem :)

for now if you want the best realtime shadows in vanilla coppercube
i have these options on my realtime shadows

Shadow opacity (optional) : 0.5
shadow detail factor : 0.03
shadow bias 1 : 0.0001
shadow bias 2 : 0.005
shadow backface bias : 0

these settings also fix the shadow problew where if we inport any complexer mesh then a cube and this imported object is under a shadow it wont draw a good looking shadow on our complex mesh. for example if we grab the default soldier prefab and put it under realtime shadows it will only have a shadow drawn on the soldier in certain spots.

hope this helps anyone struggeling with realtime shadows and i will look on making a plugin. if there is already a plugin for this problem please let me know.
