1.) The MegaPov patched version of POV-Ray has a feature called trace()
that can be used to do this place it also offers slope dependent
textures. The two combined can be used effectively for realistic
object placement and terrain texturing.

2.) A height field modelling program called Leveller has a neat feature
that will allow you to select an area of a HF and export coordinates
that relate to hight positions on the HF's surface. This makes it
easy to accurately place objects only on those areas of the HF you
want them on.
