This one is working for me. Please see the attatched image
 

Yes.

After tried a while, I have managed to att blob shadow to objects. But I couldn't add soft or hard shadows. Maybe that's what you are talking about, right?

This may be outdate question but I m stuck here. When I applied depthmask material it was still rendered. I couldn't managed to show shadow on the iPhone.

That material masks out any 3D objects rendered behind it. This is handy for AR applications, where you may want real world objects to occlude virtual ones. Simply model the real world objects and apply this material.

It works well in this case for shadows because you need a material that isn't rendered but also isn't transparent (Unity shadows don't play well with transparent materials). I'm sure there are other materials that would work as well, but this was the first one I came up with :)

What does this material do?

I was able to get the standard Unity Blob Shadow Projector working with the ImageTargets sample, using these steps:

1) Import the Projectors package provided by Unity.
2) Pick a teapot, lift it up off the target so it's floating.
3) Drag the Blob Shadow Projector prefab onto the teapot.
4) Increase the Far Clip Plane on the projector (e.g. to 500).
5) Rotate the projector to point down.
6) Now add a plane object to the target, we need something to project against at runtime (and the target plane is disabled at runtime).
7) Drag the Qualcomm Augmented Reality/Materials/DepthMask material onto your plane (this is just one option, but it works well).
8) Run your app!

Thanks for the reply i will try lightmapping then. As for my app, it's really just a test to see what is possible and to make myself familiar with Unity and QCAR. I have another problem with the shadows. I tried using a blob projector in the project, but i can't see the shadows. When i tried the same in a project in which i didn't import the QCAR packages the shadows did appear in the viewport. Any thoughts ?

hi,
i don't know what your game looks like but if you just want shadows for static objects you can also use the lightmapping implemented in unity. works pretty good on android.

I believe that's right, Unity does not support dynamic shadows for mobile. You'll have to write your own shaders, or simply use a blob shadow.
