🌀 Modern 2D Shadows is a tool for quick drop shadow generation or top-down

real-time directional shadow creation.

It works best with 2d top-down games.

🎮 Important Features :

• supports URP 2D lights: 2D Spot lights are used as a light source that casts shadows and shadows appear only in light. In case of multiple light sources near one shadow, the direction of the shadows is calculated based on three closest spot-lights.

• shadow culling system: 2D Stylized Lighting system uses collider callbacks to cull shadows, so only those in viewport will be changed when changing global shadow properties. It makes real-time shadow updates possible even with big number of shadows in the scene.

• shadow pivot corrections: The pivot for the sprite shadow is calculated automatically based on my algorithm, or can be set to sprite pivot or custom transform. In case the pivot is not fully accurate, it can be quickly corrected by wiriting the (x,y) position correction in the inspector.
