[B3 Bug]Player shadow in first person

I've looked around, but I haven't seen this bug reported.
In a new created project, using forge soldier (really I haven't tried the others models), in first person only, the shadow doesn't play the animation.

Hehe... that's a tricky one :)

Toggle into third-person (TAB) and you'll probably see the guy isn't animating there either. This is a problem in the model setup here (think good old Space Orc has the same problem). The shadow stuff should work fine.

//Edit: Well, to be careful, at least this is what I found any time the player shadow didn't want to do anything.

I was gonna rework the skin updates to fix another issue.

I'll make sure this case works as well.

@Rene, in third person the shadow is animating correctly

@Davide
Then please ignore my stupid comment. In my test, Forge Soldier wasn't animating at all and I had remembered having fallen for a "why is the shadow not updating" before.

yes, it is a strange issue, though you can see the weapon shadow moving up and down.
