Only several images recognized during alignment

Hello.

I just downloaded the demo version of realitycapture to test and learn how to use it. I took 89 photos of a small scale F1 car with my Nikon D610, and a 35mm Nikkor lens for testing purposes. When I clicked align, it seems that only 5 out of the 89 images were recognized as there are only 5 camera poses on the sparse cloud model view. I’ll attach the screenshot for you to see. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Boris

Can you post your alignment settings as well as a view on the left pane (where you have all the components) ?

The glare in some of the images is not ideal.
And I am not sure about the cutting pad.
It has a highly repetitive pattern and is otherwise unicolor plus slightly reflective.

On the other hand, it is good for scaling and adding Control Points.
Those will help RC to find the matching images.
I would start with 4 in each corner, mark them in at least 4 images in each component.
Just make sure, that you get exactly thr right corner of the grid.
That should get you somewhere…
