The only thing that I can think of, if this function does not work or will not work by launch, is to load the model or lower detail version of it with invisible textures and try to keep it in sync with the first person model.
I don't know if the shadows will still be visible.
This will undoubtedly be the less efficient way of doing this just for some shadows.
