Where to get more demo body？

[qaz8788817]

Hi, this is a truly impressive piece of work. I'd like to try out more models. Could you please let me know where I can find similar human body models for experimentation, like those in the demo folder?

Thank you.

Hi, you can find a large variety of SMPL bodies and sequences in the AMASS Dataset

In the download section, click on SMPL+H G

To vizualize those sequences of bodies in motion, you can use AitViewer.

Please also note that OSSO is a project from 2022, we now have a new body+skeleton model called SKEL that supports more applications: https://skel.is.tue.mpg.de/.

Hi, thanks for your reply. After I downloaded and decompressed one of the AMASS dataset, I got multiple sets of npz files. Should I use osso/utils/fit_osso.py to convert these files into ply files? Or there is a mistake in my understanding.

Thank you.

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to ask this question, and I apologize if it causes any inconvenience. I followed the instruction to download the CMU dataset from AMASS, and after extracting it, I obtained npz files containing different actions from various subjects. I used numpy to read one of the files, and the contents are as follows: Here is no vertices and faces in these files. I would like to convert these files into ply or obj format so that I can use main.py to generate skeletons. Is there any method to convert these npz files into obj or ply files? Thank you.

The AMASS files contain sequences of parameters defining for each frame the pose (poses), body shape (betas) and translation (trans) of a human body. To generate a 3D mesh out of them, you need to use SMPL. You can use it through the smplx library (https://github.com/vchoutas/smplx).

You can see an example of how we get the SMPL mesh vertices from the .npz dictionary here

Note that In your more recent project SKEL, we have a demo where we directly fit the SKEL skeleton model to an AMASS sequence.

Thanks. I follow the SKEL installation steps to install aitviewer, and I cannot install it successfully. I have commented my error and question here: https://github.com/MarilynKeller/aitviewer-skel/issues/2#issuecomment-1972391757

Thanks.
