As you can see, the tree’s (instanced foliage) static shadow is disappearing the nearer it is to the camera, this appears to correspond with CSM’s dynamic shadow distance. The foliage/trees are set to only cast static shadows and no dynamic shadows.
This question: Cascaded Shadow Maps and Static Shadows - Rendering - Unreal Engine Forums
seems to have the same problem.

The other issue is that regardless of distance the trees seem to never self-shadow.

Hey lime517,

The post you provided a link to has now been reported as a bug with the tag UE-12005. Keep an eye out for the implemented fix in our upcoming releases. Since this is a newly entered bug there is not an associated version in which the fix is planned to be integrated. I will update this post when a fix has been made.

Cheers,

Thank you!
