Hi Ondrej,
unfortunately I cannot share the project or the images. We are an animation and vfx studio working under strict NDA rules and cannot give anything out of our hands, even if we got an NDA from you for doing so. Sorry about that, because I wish it would be simpler.
I have tried to do a fresh project with only 40 images and those aligned, meshed and textured fine. I was also able to save that project. So it isn’t a general issue with my settings, because I haven’t changed any of them when I did this test.
I remembered something that might be usefull. What I did in the big project is that I started out the project in the coordinate system “Local 1 - Euclidian”. Then, after alignment and having a scan that was rotated the wrong way, I used control points that I got the GPS position (latitude, longitude and elevation) from google earth using easily identifiable landmarks and added those to the alignment. Because those GPS locations where in a different coordinate system, I had to switch. During the switching of the coordinate system of those controll points in RC to “GPS (WGS 84)”, the application then prompted the following:
Instead of choosing “Set to the Project” I clicked on “Convert Coordinates”. Could that have an effect on later processes such as texturing?
Here are the Googleearth points I have located in my scan and assigned in RC using their GPS locations:
