And far away patches won't be receiving shadows if they are beyond shadow distance (a quality setting). laurent: Unity can already take lightmap color into account for trees, grass, and detail objects.

Thanks! - shadow on grass: have you tried modulating the brightness of the grass by the patch of land it sits on ? - shadow optimization: maybe far away patches can revert to vertex light ?

Thanks for sharing this so openly. I'm looking forward to getting terrain shadows, and don't envy you guys for having to deal with such tricky issues. The cool thing about knowing all this is that when some day, Unity X has those shadows and "it just works", I'll know how this came to life ;-) Well - happy hacking, homes ;-) Wow - what an impressive list.
