HLSL cbuffer only supports float4 array.
```
cbuffer SHADOW_CONSTANTS : register(11){
float gCascadeFrustumsEyeSpaceDepthsFloat[8];
}
```
The above cbuffer has size of 128 bytes(float**4** x 8) rather than 32bytes(float x 8).
I had to use the following declaration instead.
```
cbuffer SHADOW_CONSTANTS : register(11){
float4 gCascadeFrustumsEyeSpaceDepthsFloat[2];
}
```
And had to reinterpret it to float[8] before accessing the array via the array-index, like below.
```
float reinterpreted[8] = (float[8])gCascadeFrustumsEyeSpaceDepthsFloat;
```
#### 2016-01-09 Added cascaded shadow
* Engine
* Added cascaded shadow - no more disappearing shadows in the far distance
* Added shadow frustum debugging feature
* 22 files changed, 361 insertions(+), 42 deletions(-)
Three cascade levels are used. Three levels are all rendered into a shadow atlas texture. Each one has the size of 1024x1024, so the texture atals has the size of 3072 x 1024. This is huge save since the engine was using a larger shadow map(4096x4096) previously. Cascaded shadow technique not only saves the texture size but also improves the shadow quality.
