The recommended frame count for most captures lies between 250 - 1000. Larger spaces or more detailed scans can have up to 2000 frames, but if you continue beyond that amount, the reconstruction is more likely to fail. On the other hand, any scene with less than 100 frames tend to struggle with capturing a space sufficiently. We would typically reco...
