I'm trying to copy the shadowCascade functionality from http://threejs.org/examples/webgl_morphtargets_md2_control.html to my project. I did this 1:1 however I only get a a little bit of shadowing at a certain angles and rotations, and often cut off. Further, enabling shadowCascade from start throws shader errors. I have to wait for some time until I can set shadowCascade = true.
I tried to find documentation, links or hints explaining how shadowCascade works and what all those parameters do, without success so far.
All in all I'm rather confused, I don't really understand what is happening and why. Thanks in advance for some clarification and help!
Here's a screenshot
Edit: Here's a video of the effect
