animate avatar using simple SMPL pose parameters
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hi,
Thanks for the hard work here! I was able to get good results following the instructions. Here is my personal avatar!
1001.2.1.mp4
My question is how can I animate my avatar by using simple SMPL pose/camera parameters, I tried following the fitting code to get an understanding but it looks like the model uses a special format that comes from the SMPL optimized after the fitting run.
I would use fitting on a video from the wild but it can take hours just a small clip.
Can we use SMPL parameters from projects like:
https://github.com/brjathu/PHALP
https://github.com/mkocabas/VIBE
https://github.com/mkocabas/PARE
Also the paper mentions real time inferencing is possible with the avatar, any resources or code snippets you can point me to?
Thanks!!
ExAvatar requires SMPL-X, not SMPL parameters. SMPL parameters do not have hand/face information, and body kinematic chain is slightly different from SMPL-X.
