[osg-users] Clamping models to an osgTerrain

[Chris Hanson]

Most of the time, when it gets to adding stuf on top of the terrain, I head
over to osgEarth.

I think it's possible to serialize pre-built terrain models from osgEarth,
but I don't know if it is really feasible to do it to the extent that VPB
does.
