About the render #43

Closed ChicyChen closed 3 years ago

ChicyChen commented 3 years ago

Is it possible to use the render in sapien as a differentiable render for back-propagation? i.e. use rendering in sapien as a component in a neural network model pipeline, and back-propagate losses to modules before the render. Thanks a lot!

There is currently no plan to support differentiable rendering in SAPIEN, since rendering hardware pipelines are not designed for differentiability. You probably will want to look at projects dedicated to do differentiable rendering.
