## Update

- [2022.10.07] **DART's raw textures+accessories are released** at [RAW](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_KPzMFjXLHagPhhos7NXvzdzMMN-b1bd/view)
- [2022.09.29] **DART Unity GUI's source code is publicly available** at [GUI](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xtfc-fMHR5ax-e5S5Drx53Rm2ddL5mHs/view?usp=sharing).

## Environment

- numpy
- cv2
- imageio
- PyTorch
- PyTorch3D (>= 0.6)
- [manotorch](https://github.com/lixiny/manotorch.git)

## Data

Please download the data from [HuggingFace/Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/yuliang/dart) or [Baidu Pan (4w3r)](https://pan.baidu.com/share/init?surl=xOV3FkNFxNS-mYrHTXd8Iw) and put them in the `data/DARTset` folder.

```bash
git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/yuliang/dart data/DARTset
```

Then download [MANO](https://mano.is.tue.mpg.de) from the official website and put it in the `assets` folder.

Your directory should look like this:

```
.
├── DARTset.py
├── DARTset_utils.py
├── assets
│   └── mano_v1_2
├── data
│   └── DARTset
│       ├── train
│       │   ├── 0
│       │   ├── 0_wbg
│       │   ├── part_0.pkl
│       │   |-- ...
│       └── test
```

## Visualization

```python
python DARTset.py
```

You can modify this [line](https://github.com/DART2022/DARTset/blob/f619f609b1902b344fc5bbba57d080763a5496eb/DARTset.py#L175) in DARTset.py to change the `train/test` data split.

## Post Processing with Unity GUI

Please check [postprocess folder](https://github.com/DART2022/DART/blob/master/postprocess/README.md) to learn how to generate intermediate output using DART's Unity GUI.
