[osg-users] Shadow frustum culling

[Terry Welsh]

Gedalia,
If I understand the original question correctly, you're not seeing
shadows that are cast by off-screen objects. I had that exact problem
back around 2006 and Robert solved it with the introduction of the
View class. Sorry, I don't remember the details beyond that and can't
find our old discussion archived anywhere.
