How can I prepare folder "human_model_files"

[eeyrw]

I am a newbie of pose estimation and want to leverage the OSX to extract 3d mesh body model and try to inference with the code. I have signed up a lot of account of xxx.is.tue.mpg.de and download a lot of models but turn out still not enough to preparing the folder according readme. Here are downloaded files:

Current match:

Any tips of that?

@eeyrw Hi, you can download the model files by:

1. smpl: SMPL_NEUTRAL.pkl, SMPL_MALE.pkl and SMPL_FEMALE.pkl. You need to rename basicModel_f_lbs_10_207_0_v1.0.0.pkl and basicModel_m_lbs_10_207_0_v1.0.0.pkl to SMPL_FEMALE.pkl and SMPL_MALE.pkl.
2. smplx: MANO_SMPLX_vertex_ids.pkl and SMPL-X__FLAME_vertex_ids.npy, SMPLX_NEUTRAL.pkl, SMPLX_NEUTRAL.npz, SMPLX_MALE.npz, SMPLX_FEMALE.npz, SMPLX_to_J14.pkl.
3. mano: here
4. flame: flame_dynamic_embedding.npy and flame_static_embedding.pkl, FLAME_NEUTRAL.pkl. You need to rename generic_model.pkl to FLAME_NEUTRAL.pkl.

Thank for your tips and I finally collected complete files.
But the demo.py still need more..?

  File "E:\OSX\main\demo.py", line 37, in <module>
    from OSX import get_model
  File "E:\OSX\main\..\main\OSX.py", line 4, in <module>
    from nets.module import PositionNet, HandRotationNet, FaceRegressor, BoxNet, BoxSizeNet, HandRoI, FaceRoI, BodyRotationNet
  File "E:\OSX\main\..\common\nets\module.py", line 6, in <module>
    from utils.human_models import smpl_x
  File "E:\OSX\main\..\common\utils\human_models.py", line 176, in <module>
    smpl = SMPL()
  File "E:\OSX\main\..\common\utils\human_models.py", line 156, in __init__
    self.layer = {'neutral': smplx.create(cfg.human_model_path, 'smpl', gender='NEUTRAL', **self.layer_arg), 'male': smplx.create(cfg.human_model_path, 'smpl', gender='MALE', **self.layer_arg), 'female': smplx.create(cfg.human_model_path, 'smpl', gender='FEMALE', **self.layer_arg)}
  File "E:\OSX\main\..\common\utils\smplx\smplx\body_models.py", line 2321, in create
    return SMPL(model_path, **kwargs)
  File "E:\OSX\main\..\common\utils\smplx\smplx\body_models.py", line 130, in __init__
    assert osp.exists(smpl_path), 'Path {} does not exist!'.format(
AssertionError: Path E:\OSX\main\..\common\utils\human_model_files\smpl\SMPL_MALE.pkl does not exist!

The code seems a tendency to ensure that all gender models are existing...

Hi, I'm sorry that I miss SMPL_FEMALE.pkl and SMPL_MALE.pkl. Please download them from here and renamebasicModel_f_lbs_10_207_0_v1.0.0.pkl and basicModel_m_lbs_10_207_0_v1.0.0.pkl to SMPL_FEMALE.pkl and SMPL_MALE.pkl.

[eeyrw]

It works now. SMPL things are really complicated. It seems that the body mesh output is neutral. Can I specific male or female output?

[linjing7]

Hi, you can modify neutral in this line into male or female.

[eeyrw]

I see. Thank you.

@eeyrw Hi, you can download the model files by:

1. smpl: SMPL_NEUTRAL.pkl, SMPL_MALE.pkl and SMPL_FEMALE.pkl. You need to rename basicModel_f_lbs_10_207_0_v1.0.0.pkl and basicModel_m_lbs_10_207_0_v1.0.0.pkl to SMPL_FEMALE.pkl and SMPL_MALE.pkl.
2. smplx: MANO_SMPLX_vertex_ids.pkl and SMPL-X__FLAME_vertex_ids.npy, SMPLX_NEUTRAL.pkl, SMPLX_NEUTRAL.npz, SMPLX_MALE.npz, SMPLX_FEMALE.npz, SMPLX_to_J14.pkl.

While following the steps to prepare the “human_model_files”, I encountered a similar problem on mano downloading as mentioned in this [issue](hassony2/manopth#5 (comment)).

I attempted to download the file using:

wget --no-check-certificate https://psfiles.is.tuebingen.mpg.de/downloads/mano/mano_v1_2-zip

However, the result was a “Download denied” HTML file, which is the same as when I tried accessing the link through the Chrome browser. It seems to require login credentials.

I tried various URLs, such as https://psfiles.is.tuebingen.mpg.de, https://is.tuebingen.mpg.de, and others, but I was unable to find the correct download link. It appears that *is.tuebingen* is not the right way to locate the file.

After several muddling attempts, I discovered that the correct approach is to log in to the site https://mano.is.tue.mpg.de/download.php and click on Models & Code. This will eventually lead to the target download link: https://psfiles.is.tuebingen.mpg.de/downloads/mano/mano_v1_2-zip.
