  Thanks! Yeah I’m essentially running OpenSfM exactly as described in their documentation usage example. Then on that page they also show how to export to OpenMVS, and from there I follow similar example usage documentation from OpenMVS. OpenSfM has a config file and the defaults are fine, but I’d recommend reading the description for each possible parameter so you know what to tweak if you don’t like the default results. Oh and OpenMVS uses a lot of memory if you use lots of photos, but remember you can use swap. At first I used GCE instances with huge amounts of physical ram and that was a silly waste of money in hindsight. I simply didn’t think of using swap at first.
