I registered, verified my e-mail, but then I opened the page and clicked the create button, I succesfully uploaded my synth, just waiting it to be preprocessed. Not sure, but it might be a way to pass the waiting for invitation.

For example, one of the original, popular photosynths allowed you to explore inside an art studio. You could look up at the c…
Note you can press "c" to make the camera break free of the rails
Thanks for the tip! But this allows you to move your perspective outside of the rail system, but doesn't change the fact that you only have images established on the rail system itself.
