 | __Soft Shadows__ | Select this check box to enable extra processing of the shadow maps to give them a smoother look.<br/>When enabled, Unity uses the following shadow map filtering method:<br/>Desktop platforms: 5x5 tent filter, mobile platforms: 4 tap filter.<br/>**Performance impact**: high.<br/>When this option is disabled, Unity samples the shadow map once with the default hardware filtering. |

+| **Conservative Enclosing Sphere** | Enable this option to improve shadow frustum culling and prevent Unity from excessively culling shadows in the corners of the shadow cascades.<br/>Disable this option only for compatibility purposes of existing projects created in previous Unity versions.<br/>If you enable this option in an existing project, you might need to adjust the shadows cascade distances because the shadow culling enclosing spheres change their size and position.<br/>**Performance impact**: enabling this option is likely to improve performance, because the option minimizes the overlap of shadow cascades, which reduces the number of redundant static shadow casters. |
