Footprint / frame
Model. frames = overlap factor x (surface area / footprint per frame), where overlap factor = 1/(1-overlap)² and footprint = (px wide x GSD) x (px tall x GSD). Each zone gets a general pass plus a tighter hero-detail pass, with a few wide alignment frames added. Realistic on-site doubles pure shutter to absorb movement, multiple heights, reflective surfaces and lighting resets.

Soft inputs. Surface areas are estimates from the set photos, replace with real dimensions from WB or the tour. The GSD targets are Lulu's call, they set the LOD. Overlap and GSD are the biggest levers, so move them and watch the total swing.
