Gaia Pro 2023 grass detail, not rendering shadows.

Gaia Pro 2023 grass detail, not rendering shadows in Runtime. Shadows show in Editor. Unity 2022.3.10f1 URP -Alpine Biome-

I will have to check into that. 

[Bryan]

I just tested this out and it's working. 
Did you setup the project using a template? 

 

[JulesD]

Sorry forgot to mention, only for third person Character. Game Creator 2. The Characters shadow does not show on the grass only in runtime, but it does show in the editor. Perhaps I need to use the custom player setting. I will give that a try.

[Bryan]

Yeah, you would need to use the Gaia Custom Player and tie your character and controller to that. 
Same with the camera. 

[JulesD]

No, still nothing.

[JulesD]

If I switch to Nature Manufacture detailed grass, it works fine.

[Bryan]

You may need to check the layers. 
Either on the camera or the player.

The same issue also occurred on Gaia Pro 2021, and I did some testing with gaia pro 2023, This is may be useful:

Hi @JulesD investigation in the other thread linked by KenOnion above resulted in us finding a potential fix for it. Can you please try the attached patch to see if it improves things for you as well?
