Extend Sampler to use SkinnedMesh

[synergyseeker]

Describe the feature you'd like:

Currently the Sampler component expects a Mesh. Using skinnedMesh would allow keeping instancedMesh instances nicely anchored to the skin of an animated model. Effects such as particles, fur, etc that might be nice to move with a model could be possible.

Suggested implementation:

Sample code usage, would ideally be the same as using Mesh now.

<group ref={group} {...props} dispose={null}>
      <group name="Scene">
        <group name="MAN">
          <primitive object={nodes.mixamorigHips} />
          <Sampler count={3000}>
            <skinnedMesh
              name="Character_1"
              geometry={nodes.Character_1.geometry}
              material={nodes.Character_1.material}
              skeleton={nodes.Character_1.skeleton}
            >
            </skinnedMesh>
            <instancedMesh ref={ref} args={[null, null, 3000]}>
              <sphereGeometry args={[0.3, 8, 8]} />
              <meshBasicMaterial color={"#4455ff"} />
            </instancedMesh>
          </Sampler>
        </group>
      </group>
    </group>
