How to make 3D templates?

[q5390498]

Thank you for your shared. I want to create 3d female models, but the provided template is male model. Can you tell me how to make 3D templates? This pkl is not the same as the SMPL pkl. Hope you can help me. Thank you very much.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest. The provided template is the neutral model and the model was trained with the neutral model because the gender of the person is not always clear.

You could use the shape space of the original SMPL's female model, by loading that model and using SMPL to pose the person with HMR output but not the shape.

Best,

Angjoo

I have tried looking foe shape space but I couldn't understand. Would you please elaborate on how to use female SMPL here?
