i’m fairly proficient in Cycles, so decided to try out eevee. I downloaded the latest build and built the simple suzanne on a floor plane with a lamp scene but the lamp doesn’t seem to light anything. An environment map seems to light my objects bu doesn’t cast any shadows. When I switch to Cycles everything works like I expect it to. All objects have materials. What am I missing here? Is my hardware not supported?

Would love to start building some beautiful near real-time scenes!
Thanks for reading. And if you know someone else who might have the answer, don’t hesitate to link me to his/her inbox.
Sometimes lights in Eevee are much darker than in cycles so try turning the energy up. As for the shadows, Eevee has a clipping value, so if your scene is quite big you may need to increase the clipping end value.
Also I think that what you are seeing with environment lights is not lighting but actually reflections, hence why you see no shadows.
