github EVA3D, Random Character Generator

Today was released a script on github that enables yoou to generate random characters.

From my tests you need a at least a GPU with 10gb VRAM.

You can find the script at: https://github.com/hongfz16/EVA3D 

The twitter from the author is https://twitter.com/hongfz16 

I was able to install on windows making a few tweaks.

On the github it says that you have to use pytorch 1.7, but as my gpu is RTX3090, it is not compatible, so I installed pytorch 1.12 with cuda 11.6

What I've done to install it

conda create --name eva3d python=3.8

activate eva3d

pip install torch==1.12.0+cu116 torchvision==0.13.0+cu116 torchaudio==0.12.0 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu116

conda install -c fvcore -c iopath -c conda-forge fvcore iopath

then I installed pytorch3d using the direction from the issue at ECON:

https://github.com/YuliangXiu/ECON/issues/16 

Sumarizing the instructions I did was:

have the microsoft build tools with c++ compileing tools installed and then I installed cuda v11.6, that you can get at

https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/11.6.0/local_installers/cuda_11.6.0_511.23_windows.exe 

then I ran the command:

%comspec% /k "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"

after that I got the pytorch3d files using git clone (if you have git installed, if you dont have just go to pytorch3d site and download a zip file, unpackit and go inside its folder)

download pytorch3d using git clone:

git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d.git

get inside pytorch3d:

cd pytorch3d

type:

set DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1

execute

python setup.py install

and wait for it to compile/install

run

pip install -r requirements.txt

and to test you can execute this command

python generation_demo.py --batch 1 --chunk 1 --expname 512x256_deepfashion --dataset_path demodataset --depth 5 --width 128 --style_dim 128 --renderer_spatial_output_dim 512 256 --no_sphere_init --input_ch_views 3 --white_bg --voxhuman_name eva3d_deepfashion --deltasdf --N_samples 28 --ckpt 420000 --identities 1 --truncation_ratio 0.5 

each time you execute it will generate a new character

PS.:

Its possible that you have problems with portalocker.py

if you have, you will need to go to your python env, if you are using anaconda, it will be on your system folder, for example, in my pc it is at:

C:\Users\carlo\.conda\envs\eva3d

The portalocker.py is at:

C:\Users\carlo\.conda\envs\eva3d\Lib\site-packages\portalocker\portalocker.py

change the lines where you have win32con and win32file

to what you see in this image

As an example, I'm uploading the file I've changed in my pc

PS2.: if you still have problems after making this change. An error saying something like it cant find win32file. Make sure you are using administrator grant to start the CMD before installing pywin32
