Photo adjustment for face modeling

Arsenyi, some more tips:
try setting in alignment settings image downscale factor to 1
I am in a similar situation, reconstructing some data from a not much rich camera array(only 11 cams).This improved the calibration for me. But I have similar problem, some models are very noisy, while others smooth. It’s a lot about the models skin shininess I think…

Another important parameter is Adaptive blending start in advanced reconstruction settings. It can, If I understand it correctly, determine influence of depth maps, and in case of not having 360 degrees covered, it might improve the coverage. Sadly, by now the parameter can’t go over 0.5. Default is 0.45. Wishgranter, would it be possible to allow higher values for this parameter? Not sure if I understood it right, but by my tests it behaves this way( direction of depthmap vs normal of suface -> depth map is used or not on a certain area).

I am also curious if you find another ways to improve the result.
