Install

sanihead_end2end

This implementation has been tested on Ubuntu 18.04, using Python 2.7.12, TensorFlow-gpu 1.13.2, TFLearn 0.5.0, CUDA 10.0, etc.

pipeline

To train the code, please install several external libraries.

  1. Chamfer Distance
    Please make and replace the "cd_dist_so.so" file for the calculation of Chamfer distance. The source code and introduction can be found from Pixel2Mesh.

  2. DIRT
    Comparied with the source code of DIRT, we add the orthogonal projection function for our mesh rendering. The modified code can be found in dirt. Please refer to DIRT to install it.

The dataset can be found in this link. We also provide pre-trained models for the fine-tuning or testing. You can download them and put them in the directory of "sanihead_end2end".

ui

We design the user interface for real-time sketch-based animal-head modeling. It is built on Ubuntu 18.04, using Qt Creator 5.9.5. The ependencies are also given. To run the demo, a GPU with more than 8 GB memory is required.
