| [DistanceShadowmask](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/shadowmaskmode/distanceshadowmask.md) | Static shadow casters will be rendered into real-time shadow maps. Shadowmasks and occlusion from Light Probes will only be used past the real-time shadow distance. |
| [Shadowmask](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/shadowmaskmode/shadowmask.md)                 | Static shadow casters won't be rendered into real-time shadow maps. All shadows from static casters are handled via Shadowmasks and occlusion from Light Probes.     |
