Shadows on non-terrian materials work in-editor but don't work in Windows or WebGL builds.

[TerminalJack]

I tried this with Unity 6.5 and 6.3 and web builds and Windows builds.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new Unity 6.3 or 6.5 project.
2. Install the latest VNTG package w/ example.
3. (Optional) Install TextMeshPro.
4. Open the demo scene.
5. Place a cube some where near the player, partially in the shadow of a tree.
6. Assign the cube the 'SandMat' material.
7. Run the game in-editor. Note that the cube will receive shadows (same for the scene view.)
8. Build the game for Windows or WebGL and run it.
9. Observe that the cube doesn't receive any shadows.

See attached screenshots.

I seem to have finally got this working. I had to change a couple of parameters in the shader. (See attached.) It did make the trees in the demo scene a lot darker since they weren't receiving shadows before but are now. Non-terrain materials are receiving shadows now. Transparent materials still seem to work. I'm not a shader expert so I don't know if these changes will cause problems or not.
