Horse Whisperer Achievement
September 15, 2009 - 7:22am
Maybe this is too soon to be asking, but I didn't get the Horse Whisperer achievement for my photosynth submission, and I think I might know why. I did this activity with another player, and we used the same computer to upload our photos. While we used the same photosynth account and took photos of the same horse, we didn't share any photos and the synths actually turned out very different. Is there a chance that my submission was ignored as a duplicate entry?
Thanks so much!

Yeah, I did submit the photosynth URL to PTI. Anyway, the only reason that I ask is the person I submitted this with (who submitted hers a few hours AFTER mine) got her achievement that night, and a day and a half later, I'm still missing mine :-(
Good point on the support forums though... I really shouldn't have posted this here.

Are you sure that two people can submit the same photosynth? I think you each have to do your own. I don't see anything about teams on the description page (unlike on the Our Towns page and the scavenger hunt page).

No, I don't believe you can submit the same synth for two different users.
In my case, we used the same computer to generate two synths from two different sets of photos (from two different cameras, actually). Unfortunately, the Photosynth application is very basic, and I didn't see a way to log out of my Photosynth account. The end result is that both of our synths were posted under the same Photosynth account.
As I now have the achievement, I'm going to assume that this is not an issue.

I see, thanks for checking! :-)
The organizers have said that checking the submission is a manual process, so they may just not have gotten to yours yet. If you're still unsure, you may want to post in the 'Support' forum, which I'm guessing is more closely monitored by the organizers
..and because there does seem to be some confusion: It's not enough to just upload to the photosynth site, you also need to submit the URL of your creation on the submission form here.
