    It's normal that your polycount would increase, yes. Shadows require an extra render of all shadowcasting objects - including ones that are offscreen but cast shadows onto the screen - so you should look at what your shadowcasters are and how many polys are in them.

    I just wonder why when I just enable the shadow (no tick cast shadow on any object). Polygon will double.
    I though it just count to polygon when it cast shadow from any object?
