Help Fix Weird Shadows on Spinning Mesh That's Using World Position Offset

[ClockworkOcean]

When you offset the mesh using the material, it will screw with the shadows ( because the mesh isn’t actually moving ). You might be able to fix it by increasing the mesh bounds

World position offset with virtual shadows

The fix is to increase the bounds of the mesh until it is equal to the entire domain that mesh occupies during it’s animation. This is because VSMs use the mesh’s bounds to decide if a particular page of data needs to be updated. If a mesh is moving outside of its bounds, it will not update normally.
