# Cached Shadow Maps

Cached Shadow Maps is a unity package for caching shadow maps on unity's built in lighting system, storing
them (while valid) for
later
use effectively reduces the number of shadows casters to be rendered each frame. This include
automatic recomputation when a light source context is detected to be dirty.
