2. Get data

<details> <summary>Text to Motion</summary> There are two paths to get the data: (a) **Go the easy way if** you just want to generate text-to-motion (excluding editing which does require motion capture data) (b) **Get full data** to train and evaluate the model. #### a. The easy way (text only) **HumanML3D** - Clone HumanML3D, then copy the data dir to our repository:

cd ..
git clone https://github.com/EricGuo5513/HumanML3D.git
unzip ./HumanML3D/HumanML3D/texts.zip -d ./HumanML3D/HumanML3D/
cp -r HumanML3D/HumanML3D motion-diffusion-model/dataset/HumanML3D
cd motion-diffusion-model

#### b. Full data (text + motion capture) **HumanML3D** - Follow the instructions in [HumanML3D](https://github.com/EricGuo5513/HumanML3D.git), then copy the result dataset to our repository:

cp -r ../HumanML3D/HumanML3D ./dataset/HumanML3D

**KIT** - Download from [HumanML3D](https://github.com/EricGuo5513/HumanML3D.git) (no processing needed this time) and the place result in `./dataset/KIT-ML` </details> <details> <summary>Action to Motion</summary> **UESTC, HumanAct12**

bash prepare/download_a2m_datasets.sh

</details> <details> <summary>Unconstrained</summary> **HumanAct12**

bash prepare/download_unconstrained_datasets.sh

</details>

3. Download the pretrained models

Download the model(s) you wish to use, then unzip and place them in ./save/.

Motion Synthesis

<details> <summary>Text to Motion</summary> ### Generate from test set prompts

python -m sample.generate --model_path ./save/humanml_trans_enc_512/model000200000.pt --num_samples 10 --num_repetitions 3

### Generate from your text file

python -m sample.generate --model_path ./save/humanml_trans_enc_512/model000200000.pt --input_text ./assets/example_text_prompts.txt

### Generate a single prompt

python -m sample.generate --model_path ./save/humanml_trans_enc_512/model000200000.pt --text_prompt "the person walked forward and is picking up his toolbox."

</details> <details> <summary>Action to Motion</summary> ### Generate from test set actions

python -m sample.generate --model_path ./save/humanact12/model000350000.pt --num_samples 10 --num_repetitions 3

### Generate from your actions file

python -m sample.generate --model_path ./save/humanact12/model000350000.pt --action_file ./assets/example_action_names_humanact12.txt

### Generate a single action

python -m sample.generate --model_path ./save/humanact12/model000350000.pt --text_prompt "drink"

</details> <details> <summary>Unconstrained</summary>

python -m sample.generate --model_path ./save/unconstrained/model000450000.pt --num_samples 10 --num_repetitions 3

By abuse of notation, (num_samples * num_repetitions) samples are created, and are visually organized in a display of num_samples rows and num_repetitions columns. </details>

You may also define: * --device id. * --seed to sample different prompts. * --motion_length (text-to-motion only) in seconds (maximum is 9.8[sec]).

Running those will get you:

results.npy file with text prompts and xyz positions of the generated animation
sample##_rep##.mp4 - a stick figure animation for each generated motion.

It will look something like this:

example

You can stop here, or render the SMPL mesh using the following script.

Render SMPL mesh

To create SMPL mesh per frame run:

python -m visualize.render_mesh --input_path /path/to/mp4/stick/figure/file

This script outputs: * sample##_rep##_smpl_params.npy - SMPL parameters (thetas, root translations, vertices and faces) * sample##_rep##_obj - Mesh per frame in .obj format.

Notes: * The .obj can be integrated into Blender/Maya/3DS-MAX and rendered using them. * This script is running SMPLify and needs GPU as well (can be specified with the --device flag). * Important - Do not change the original .mp4 path before running the script.

Notes for 3d makers: * You have two ways to animate the sequence: 1. Use the SMPL add-on and the theta parameters saved to sample##_rep##_smpl_params.npy (we always use beta=0 and the gender-neutral model). 1. A more straightforward way is using the mesh data itself. All meshes have the same topology (SMPL), so you just need to keyframe vertex locations. Since the OBJs are not preserving vertices order, we also save this data to the sample##_rep##_smpl_params.npy file for your convenience.

Motion Editing

This feature is available for text-to-motion datasets (HumanML3D and KIT).
In order to use it, you need to acquire the full data (not just the texts).
We support the two modes presented in the paper: in_between and upper_body.

Unconditioned editing

python -m sample.edit --model_path ./save/humanml_trans_enc_512/model000200000.pt --edit_mode in_between

You may also define: * --num_samples (default is 10) / --num_repetitions (default is 3). * --device id. * --seed to sample different prompts. * --edit_mode upper_body For upper body editing (lower body is fixed).

The output will look like this (blue frames are from the input motion; orange were generated by the model):

example

As in Motion Synthesis, you may follow the Render SMPL mesh section to obtain meshes for your edited motions.

Text conditioned editing

Just add the text conditioning using --text_condition. For example:

python -m sample.edit --model_path ./save/humanml_trans_enc_512/model000200000.pt --edit_mode upper_body --text_condition "A person throws a ball"

The output will look like this (blue joints are from the input motion; orange were generated by the model):

example

Train your own MDM

<details> <summary>Text to Motion</summary> **HumanML3D**

python -m train.train_mdm --save_dir save/my_humanml_trans_enc_512 --dataset humanml

**KIT**

python -m train.train_mdm --save_dir save/my_kit_trans_enc_512 --dataset kit

</details> <details> <summary>Action to Motion</summary>

python -m train.train_mdm --save_dir save/my_name --dataset {humanact12,uestc} --cond_mask_prob 0 --lambda_rcxyz 1 --lambda_vel 1 --lambda_fc 1

</details> <details> <summary>Unconstrained</summary>

python -m train.train_mdm --save_dir save/my_name --dataset humanact12 --cond_mask_prob 0 --lambda_rcxyz 1 --lambda_vel 1 --lambda_fc 1  --unconstrained

</details>

Use --device to define GPU id.
Use --arch to choose one of the architectures reported in the paper {trans_enc, trans_dec, gru} (trans_enc is default).
Add --train_platform_type {ClearmlPlatform, TensorboardPlatform} to track results with either ClearML or Tensorboard.
Add --eval_during_training to run a short (90 minutes) evaluation for each saved checkpoint. This will slow down training but will give you better monitoring.

Evaluate

<details> <summary>Text to Motion</summary> * Takes about 20 hours (on a single GPU) * The output of this script for the pre-trained models (as was reported in the paper) is provided in the checkpoints zip file. **HumanML3D**

python -m eval.eval_humanml --model_path ./save/humanml_trans_enc_512/model000475000.pt

**KIT**

python -m eval.eval_humanml --model_path ./save/kit_trans_enc_512/model000400000.pt

</details> <details> <summary>Action to Motion</summary> * Takes about 7 hours for UESTC and 2 hours for HumanAct12 (on a single GPU) * The output of this script for the pre-trained models (as was reported in the paper) is provided in the checkpoints zip file.

python -m eval.eval_humanact12_uestc --model <path-to-model-ckpt> --eval_mode full

where `path-to-model-ckpt` can be a path to any of the pretrained action-to-motion models listed above, or to a checkpoint trained by the user. </details> <details> <summary>Unconstrained</summary> * Takes about 3 hours (on a single GPU)

python -m eval.eval_humanact12_uestc --model ./save/unconstrained/model000450000.pt --eval_mode full

Precision and recall are not computed to save computing time. If you wish to compute them, edit the file eval/a2m/gru_eval.py and change the string `fast=True` to `fast=False`. </details>
