How to integrate SMPL male model?

[Naveennavik]

Hi,

Firstly, you've done a terrific work. I find this work really interesting. However, while rendering the result on the smpl mesh, I noticed that you are using neutral smpl with cocoplus regressor. Can you advice me on how it render the results using basic smpl model male?

Hi Naveennavik,

Thanks for your interest!

If you are trying to generate some of your own data, rendering using the male model should be straightforward - simply replace the model with the male one, and use the params you sampled to generate the mesh.

But if you are trying to render the network output, and wants to use the male model, a transition tool from neutral shape params to the male ones will be needed. I am not sure if Mosh or SMPL has provided it. As far as I know, the three types of SMPL model (neutral, male, female) do not share shape parameters. They have different PCA dimensions.

Thanks for your response. On a high level, I'm getting the network predictions correctly. But, it generates only the mesh that is female-like. Is there any way to generate a male mesh as the output?

Did you crop your input? Can you send me your images to liangjb@cs.umd.edu?

@Naveennavik did you get to generate male like body as I am also getting female body model only

@Naveennavik @farazBhatti @williamljb, I am also having a similar issue, were you able to find any fix?
