Add paging to GMM

Registered by neighborlee

I would like to suggest we add paging terrain support to GMM. It is a feature for landscapes that creates fluid game movement and therefore a pleasing immersive experience for the user. Many games utilise this feature and it would be a useful addition to Panda3d.

(Craig) - My terrain system tiles terrain. Currently it uses brute forced geoMipTerrain because of seam issues, but it generates all the necessary height maps (at any resolutions and locations needed). http://www.panda3d.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=7304
There is likely some overlap between these 2 projects.
