Getting started

Start by cloning the repo:

git clone https://github.com/YadiraF/PIXIE
cd PIXIE

Requirements

• Python 3.7 (numpy, skimage, scipy, opencv, kornia)
• PyTorch >= 1.6 You can run

  pip install -r requirements.txt

  Or create a separate virtual environment by running:

  bash install_conda.sh

  or

  bash install_pip.sh

  For visualization, we use our rasterizer that uses pytorch JIT Compiling Extensions. If there occurs a compiling error, you can install pytorch3d instead and set --rasterizer_type=pytorch3d when running the demos.

Pre-trained model and data

• Register SMPL-X Model
• Register PIXIE data

bash fetch_model.sh # username & password are required

• (Optional) Follow the instructions for the Albedo model to get 'FLAME_albedo_from_BFM.npz'. Put it into ./data
• (Optional) Clone and prepare DECA
