Tom, Thanks for the quick response. I see what you're saying.
On the scale sheet, right - it certainly didn't stay tracking with the model. In fact, the sheet stayed fairly still while the model rotated on top of it. I get it - I'm giving Photoscan a moving target when I don't move them together. Unless of course I mask out the scale sheet completely before aligning.
In my final "bracket" of shots where I shot from a plane beneath the models base, I elevated the model by about 3" so that I could shoot all the undercuts. Disabling these cameras has made a world of difference in my results. Just disabling this group of photos increased my Tie Points from 857 to 1,117, which is a nice improvement. I don't quite understand why this is though. It's not like the model changed in any way, just her up and down position (y). Maybe because the scale sheet is not present in these shots?
In any event, I think, based on your advice, that I'll reshoot her properly and see how she comes out.
Thanks again. Very appreciated.
Jon
