Final result

Do not limit image count

Use Highest Resolution Possible

In app model resolution calculator

Do not lose focus

The exposure triangle

Each point should be visible in at least two images

Shoot a full loop around the object and also from several elevations

Do not change the viewpoint more than 30 degrees

Follow the shape of the object

Maintain high overlap between images

Do not shoot panoramic pictures

Avoid object movement (e.g. due to wind)

Avoid transparent or shiny objects if possible

Avoid featureless textures

Keep constant lighting conditions
