It doth suck how Photosynth isn't more platform-friendly yet. I even saw a screenshot saying something to the effect of it not being "cool" enough for some browsers. :p

@Bamboo: There are brainwave controllers for Second Life arising! See: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Accessibility

@Patch: It still seems Photosynth is less able than panoramic software like AutoPano to recognize those textures, and I do hope for improvements to come. I think more submitted Second Life panoramas will help increase awareness. =)

@Amphithetre: Ugh, sorry about the missing comment — that might've been my Disqus woes earlier.

@Vlad: Holy moly, sounds like you have an epic. *checks it out* You achieved 100% Synthy! Looks great. I didn't know about the "p" key earlier, either.

Hey, my synth finally finished rendering – like 12 hours later Turned out pretty well. It seems kind of tough to get a smooth 360 view of an object, but maybe I can get better results with some more experimentation. Check it out if ya like:

I did two synths, possibly I'll do even more, if I can get some new ideas…
Here the links:
http://twurl.nl/xv4hr0 <-Me, in the Straylight Sim (119 pictures, 100% synthy),
http://twurl.nl/nm3yl7 <-Me, in the Kenroku Sim (133 pictures, 98% synthy).

I had a nice comment writ up, but I got a database error, so I'll sum it up.

It would be interesting to see SL and Photosynth crossover!
