when i load "BFM_model_front.mat", the error "unknown mat file type, version 49, 50" happened? can you share what version scipy you install @wuhaozhe

Hi, can you show me the size of "BFM_model_front.mat", which should be 121MB.

We store "BFM_model_front.mat" with git lfs. If its size is only a few bytes, it must be a pointer of git lfs rather than the real file. To solve this problem, you can install git lfs and run git lfs checkout ./deep_3drecon/BFM/BFM_model_front.mat. Optionally, there is a much easier solution, you can directly download "BFM_model_front.mat" from github and put it into the corresponding folder.
