Is it possible to run it on a M1 Mac? #50

LeonardoIBO commented 2 years ago

Since it uses stable diffusion in the background i wonder if it is possible to run dreamfusion on a M1 Mac, considering there are M1 stable diffusion versions like the bfirsh branch linked bellow.

https://github.com/bfirsh/stable-diffusion

I tried running dreamfusion on a M1 Macbook Pro. The installation process didn't result in any errors, but it fails at the installing of the extension models on the first time running. It results in the following CUDA error (already discussed in the issues):

OSError: CUDA_HOME environment variable is not set. Please set it to your CUDA install root.

Since it is not possible to install the CUDA toolkit on a M1 Mac, is there a way to bypass this problem?

@LeonardoIBO Hi, I'm afraid the current code cannot run without the CUDA extensions. In fact I have been testing with the vanilla NeRF (--backbone vanilla) and without using --cuda_ray, which in theory requires no CUDA extensions, but the results are not stable yet.

Hi @LeonardoIBO,

I noticed that there hasn't been an update in a while regarding the issue of running Stable Dreamfusion on M1 Macs. Has there been any progress or updates since the last discussion?

Thanks!

@LeonardoIBO How did you manage to run it that far? As I understood, pymeshlab isn't available for ARM processors? I'm struggling with M1 mac as well.
