Tested on:

Ubuntu 22 with torch 1.12 & CUDA 11.6 on a V100.
Windows 10 with torch 2.1 & CUDA 12.1 on a 3070.

Usage

Image-to-3D:

### preprocess
# background removal and recentering, save rgba at 256x256
python process.py data/name.jpg

# save at a larger resolution
python process.py data/name.jpg --size 512

# process all jpg images under a dir
python process.py data

### training gaussian stage
# train 500 iters (~1min) and export ckpt & coarse_mesh to logs
python main.py --config configs/image.yaml input=data/name_rgba.png save_path=name

# gui mode (supports visualizing training)
python main.py --config configs/image.yaml input=data/name_rgba.png save_path=name gui=True

# load and visualize a saved ckpt
python main.py --config configs/image.yaml load=logs/name_model.ply gui=True

# use an estimated elevation angle if image is not front-view (e.g., common looking-down image can use -30)
python main.py --config configs/image.yaml input=data/name_rgba.png save_path=name elevation=-30

### training mesh stage
# auto load coarse_mesh and refine 50 iters (~1min), export fine_mesh to logs
python main2.py --config configs/image.yaml input=data/name_rgba.png save_path=name

# specify coarse mesh path explicity
python main2.py --config configs/image.yaml input=data/name_rgba.png save_path=name mesh=logs/name_mesh.obj

# gui mode
python main2.py --config configs/image.yaml input=data/name_rgba.png save_path=name gui=True

# export glb instead of obj
python main2.py --config configs/image.yaml input=data/name_rgba.png save_path=name mesh_format=glb

### visualization
# gui for visualizing mesh
python -m kiui.render logs/name.obj

# save 360 degree video of mesh (can run without gui)
python -m kiui.render logs/name.obj --save_video name.mp4 --wogui

# save 8 view images of mesh (can run without gui)
python -m kiui.render logs/name.obj --save images/name/ --wogui

### evaluation of CLIP-similarity
python -m kiui.cli.clip_sim data/name_rgba.png logs/name.obj

Please check ./configs/image.yaml for more options.

Text-to-3D:

### training gaussian stage
python main.py --config configs/text.yaml prompt="a photo of an icecream" save_path=icecream

### training mesh stage
python main2.py --config configs/text.yaml prompt="a photo of an icecream" save_path=icecream

Please check ./configs/text.yaml for more options.

Helper scripts:

# run all image samples (*_rgba.png) in ./data
python scripts/runall.py --dir ./data --gpu 0

# run all text samples (hardcoded in runall_sd.py)
python scripts/runall_sd.py --gpu 0

# export all ./logs/*.obj to mp4 in ./videos
python scripts/convert_obj_to_video.py --dir ./logs
