Getting errors with the NEW 512 Res - Help ? 😩

[AlonDan]

After many tries, re-installing fresh environment again and again... I finally got to run it but now I get errors after it starts the process.

I'm still not sure how to make it work, I followed all the instructions, downloaded all needed zips, extract to the directories needed, but still get errors.

Any idea How can I fix it? 😵

If you can help please explain step-by-step so it will be easy to understand, thanks ahead!

lastest_net_G.pth is not in the folder as you can read in the console, maybe that's it?

Thanks for the quick reply, I don't know what is the file or how do I find it and in what directory to put it. I did unzip all the needed files in the correct directories, but maybe when unzip since I used "Extract Here" it created extra sub-directories, it's not very clear so I'm not sure.

UPDATE: I believe it's in my SimSwap ROOT directory, as "people" directory, I extract: checkpoints.zip with the FULL name "checkpoint/people/ files in here" 🤔

So now part of the error is gone... maybe I shouldn't extract with "extract here" I'll keep update if I don't understand the error again.

Thanks ahead for any tips!

I believe I fixed most of the directories and sub-directories naming one by one. But now I'm not sure about the all "onnx" if it's my GPU or some other thing I need to re-install? or is it the path which I don't know how to change:

My GPU worked with the older SimSwap version (without the 512 res) GTX 980 4GB (old, but works fine with the old SimSwap)

I would like to try with the GPU but, If my GPU is the problem, How can I use CPU only, what should I change exactly?

Any help will be appreciated, thanks ahead!

You need to download 512 model and unzip in checkpoints folder. And add --crop_size 512 in line. Please read carefully the updated Inference for image or video face swapping and Preparation . Link to 512 model in the end of Preparation, example is in the end of "Inference for image or video face swapping".

Thanks for your reply, That's exactly what I did, as I described I did follow all the instructions. The first issue I guess was because I used using "Extract Here" instead of extract with the zip as sub-directory name, so I created the directories manually now.

But I still get the error related to "onnx" or path which I have no idea how to fix, I described it + screenshot on my latest post above.

I wonder how can I pass these errors, it looks like I'm getting "closer" to make the SimSwap works with the new 512 resolution... help?

"My GPU worked with the older SimSwap version (without the 512 res)"

If you have a working instance of SimSwap, why are you creating a new environment? Just use the existing one.

For example, I have an Anaconda environment: simswap. I have the old version (256x256) installed to d:\simswap To use it, I run conda activate simswap then goto d:\simswap & run the python scripts.

To use the new 512 version, all I have done is set up a new folder: d:\simswap512 This new folder contains the new git repo, plus the new 512 checkpoint, as described in the new documentation. To use the 512 version, I do the same as the old version: conda activate simswap then goto d:\simswap512 & run the python scripts, ensuring --crop_size 512 is added.

Everything works the same as the old version, and I have not set up a new Anaconda environment, just a new folder for SimSwap. If you want a new environment, you could even clone your existing working version instead of having to re-install everything again.

I can't really help beyond this, since everything just worked the first time I tried... it wasn't complicated at all.

Thanks for the detailed reply @bmc84 the reason I made a new environment was because I wasn't sure if it changed and I need to install some different things or it's just the pre-trained and commands (as I found out that it is the case later) I got confused with the current documents so it's my bad.

I'm going to listen to your advice and use same old environment with new directory for the 512 one so I can test it, thank you for the advice!

Hello! Sorry to interrupt, but I'm having troubles installing this as well. I followed every step of preparation and I using the GUI and I keep getting this message.

Looks like you try to run the simswap512 gui on the old repo.
