Usage

Create environment

git clone https://github.com/Kai-46/iron.git && cd iron && . ./create_env.sh

Download data

. ./download_data.sh

Training and testing

. ./train_scene.sh drv/dragon

Once training is done, you will see the recovered mesh and materials under the folder ./exp_iron_stage2/drv/dragon/mesh_and_materials_50000/. At the same time, the rendered test images are under the folder ./exp_iron_stage2/drv/dragon/render_test_50000/

Relight the 3D assets using envmaps

Check test_mitsuba/render_rgb_envmap_mat.py.

Evaluation

Check evaluation/eval_mesh.py and evaluation/eval_image_folder.py.

Render synthetic data using Mitsuba

Check render_synthetic_data/render_rgb_flash_mat.py. To make renderings more shiny, try scaling up the specular albedo and scaling down the specular roughness; to make renderings more diffuse, try the opposite.

Camera parameters convention

We use the OpenCV camera convention just like NeRF++; you might want to use the camera visualization and debugging tools in that codebase to inspect if there's any issue with the camera parameters. Note we also assume the objects are inside the unit sphere.
