#composition

At single-digit sun elevation a street canyon gets no direct ground light, so nothing on the ground casts a visible shadow while the cascade is billed in full; fix it with sun azimuth, not renderer flags.

On a dressed citizen, GetAllComponents<SkinnedModelRenderer>().FirstOrDefault() can return a bone-merged clothing renderer (a hat) instead of the body, silently, with no null. A sequence probe then reports every clip absent. Select the body renderer explicitly.
