Lagoa and EM Polygonizer are great examples of getting the word out. Their demo videos went viral within our industry, but also wound up finding their way onto non-industry sites that like to post cool videos. Heck, even a political blog I read posted the Lagoa video from way back when, which was a nice surprise.
There is a plethora of cool ICE stuff out there to be found and edited, and getting permission from the owners might not be so tough. -B On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 3:26 PM, Maurice Patel <maurice.pa...@autodesk.com>wrote: > One area I would like to get feedback on is how do we get the right things > happening on facebook?
