Re: Keeping an object's label on the screen

*The idea I had in mind was to do something in screen space...  I’d write
out an object ID version of the projected texture, apply it, render the
terrain geometry into a low-res buffer, then compute min/max screen coords
for each object.  Then I could just draw my text label in screen space based
on that information.  Is this a sane approach?*

Could be, if your object counts are reasonably small. If this is just
sections of the terrain we're talking about, and your terrain is at least
sort of flat, you could just project the bounds of these shapes into screen
space and center your label accordingly.
