Custom Shadow Mapping in Unity - I am going to walk through how to sample your own shadows from the standard shadow mapping pipeline in Unity. Creating a camera for light and sampling its depth map has a wide variety of uses in real time VFX such as: stylized casted shadows; volumetric light shafts and shadows, subsurface scattering; ambient occlusion baking directly in Unity; automatically marking areas where effects such as snow and rain shouldn’t be applied because the area is under a roof/ cover and much more.
