Voxel shadow fixes for interleaved buffers #17376

MiiBond · 2025-10-31T18:27:49Z

This PR adds defines to assist with vertex pulling when the vertex buffers are interleaved.
I'm also including a fix by @Popov72 for IBL shadow voxelization when using bones.

@Popov72 I've included your fix and also made once that fixes the voxelization when calling it repeatedly.

This allows the voxelization to work with all the animated assets that I've tried.
Though, I suspect an animated asset that moves a lot will pass outside the bounds of the voxelization since the bounds update doesn't take skinning into account.

I finally got back to this. I barely remember what I was doing in this code but I think I've fixed most of the issues. I can see the shadows animate now for skinned meshes and morph target meshes.

Can we use the same condition with the code adding the defines ?
