/// Model Loading
/// =============================
/// This loads a vxModel with a Specified Effect as well as applies the CascadeShadowEffect to
/// the vxModel's internal Shadow Model as well. XNA and potentially other back ends do not allow
/// multiple loading of the same asset, therefore if a Shadow Model.xnb is not found, then it is created
/// from a copy of the main model as 'mainmodelname_shdw.xnb'.
///
///
/// Texture Loading
/// =============================
/// Furthermore, Textures are loaded based off of the name of the model mesh name.
///
/// For Example
/// -------------
/// ModelMesh Name = "ship"
///
/// Then the content importer will look for textures under the following names:
///
/// Diffuse Texture: ship_dds
/// Normal Map: ship_nm
/// Specular Map: ship_sm
///
/// The path to each of these is saved in the vxModel as well too allow for reloading of
/// other resolution packs later on.
