Long time user but new at the 3D model processing. The attached image was flown using the&nbsp;circular pattern for the 3D model but getting a lot of pixel artifacts. The attached images show both dense cloud and the mesh. Even after I uncheck the pointcloud the mesh still has a lot of floating pixels. How do I make a clean model?

Cool, glad it was nothing serious to a nice dataset! Good luck!
