Tick the **Enable** checkbox under the **Contact Shadows** drop-down in the **Shadows** section of each Light to indicate that HDRP should calculate Contact Shadows for that Light. +If you use both contact shadows and [realtime shadows](realtime-shadows.md), there might be a visible seam between the two types of shadow. To avoid this issue, set shadow maps to use a high resolution. For more information, refer to [Control shadow resolution and quality](Shadows-in-HDRP.md). + **Note**: A Light casts Contact Shadows for every Mesh Renderer that uses a Material that writes to the depth buffer. This is regardless of whether you enable or disable the **Cast Shadows** property on the Mesh Renderer. This means that you can disable **Cast Shadows** on small GameObjects/props and still have them cast Contact Shadows. This is good if you do not want HDRP to render these GameObjects in shadow maps. If you do not want this behavior, use Shader Graph to author a Material that does not write to the depth buffer.
