[osg-users] Culling and instanced drawing

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Werner,

The best way to handle the vertex shader moving geometry to new
locations is to use a custom osg::DrawableComputeBoundingBoxCallback
that you assign the the drawable that you are using for instancing.
You'll want to return a BoundingBox that encompasses all the positions
that the transformed geometries can occupy.
