No results displayed (running on remote servers)

[wlhsiao]

I am trying to run the dress_smpl.py script on my remote server, but could not see the displayed output. A blank window popped up after running the line mvs = MeshViewers((1, 2)), and then the window automatically closed after running the line mvs[0][0].set_static_meshes([garment_unposed]), without any error message nor raising exception. Eventually, "Done" was successfully printed, and the program terminated, but no result is displayed.

After tracing through set_static_meshes, I found that it seems to be this line  self.client.send_pyobj({'label': label,'obj': obj, 'which_window': which_window})  in the psbody.mesh.meshviewer that triggers the window to close.  I'm wondering if this is an expected behaviour, or if this happens because the code does not support running on a remote server? Any advice or help is greatly appreciated!

I'm having the same issue with dress_SMPL.py, but not with test_network.py. Did you solve this? How?

When you instantiate an object of MeshViewers, you should add keepalive=True, then the result will keep alive.

mv1 = MeshViewers((1,2), keepalive=True)

Hi @Silverster98 , thanks for your reply. First thing I tried, didn't work for me

keepalive=True is also the first thing I tried and did not help. Sadly, I gave up running the entire pipeline on my remote server: I generate the mesh (which requires more computation) on the server, and copy it back to my local machine with Mesh installed to view it... :(

emmm, then I don't know how to solve it. But, now I have a question, can you do me a favor? I want to run mgn on my laptop, but my laptop doesn't have a GPU, so I can't install dirt and run mgn(but I can run dress_smpl.py). I want to know the result of test_data.pkl. Can you email a screenshot of the result for me? Thank you very much for your reply. My email address is 1539168414@qq.com.

Are you referring to test_network.py? I didn't run that because it requires pretrained networks which take a lot of space and I don't yet have that much space. Maybe @bharat-b7 could help?

:pensive: I have sent an email to him. Thank you all the same.

Hi, running psbody.mesh.MeshViewer remotely, has X-11 socket issues. Haven't found a fix yet. Maybe raise an issue with https://github.com/MPI-IS/mesh
