How do I get better shadows on my meshes?

Hi. I’m having issues with how the Stationary light’s shadows produced by static meshes are coming out. They appear to be highly inaccurate for some reason.

This is how they look with default settings

Increasing the lightmap resolution of the floor and the meshes seem to make things worse, as the shadows simply disappear.

This only happens after I build the lighting. The shadows look fine if I move the objects and don’t click Build. Like this.

They also look fine in movable meshes. Movable lights also show the shadows correctly, and the issue is present in all the types of lights, point, directional or spotlight.

I’ve tried everything, even recompiling the entire engine, with no success. I’ve also made sure that lighting quality is set to production and scalability settings on Epic. Could this be an issue with my computer?

Thanks in advance

I am having the same issue :frowning:

Before build:

After Build:

Are the floor and wall meshes BSP?

Yes! Do they all need to be static meshes perhaps?

Nope, BSP works the other way around. The lower the resolution, the higher the quality. Just lower the resolution and it should be fine.

I lowered the lightmap resolution from 32 to 16 and it is displaying them much better :smiley:

Thank you! I will keep playing with it and see if I can get smoother shadows as well :slight_smile:
