In this tutorial, we have discussed how to enable shadow effect in Eevee while using an HDRI environment. By default, Eevee does not cast shadows for HDRI lighting. So we need to use an artificial light for the shadow effect. However, this light has to also match with the HDRI lighting, otherwise it will result in an unrealistic scene. So we have discussed how to do that perfectly. Please watch the video for the complete tutorial. If you have any question on this tutorial, please leave your comment below.
