    Long story short, is it possible to cast real time shadows with the spotlight in Unity Pro? For example, if a spotlight is shot at a cube and the spotlight was then moved around, is it possible to render out a shadow on the cube/object?

    Yes. If you're using Unity Pro, and having trouble getting this to work, make sure:

    • Your light is set to cast realtime shadows
    • Your player's Rendering Path is set to Forward or Deferred
    • If your rendering path is Forward, all your shaders need the fullforwardshadows directive, and you probably need to set your pixel light count to more than one.
