We annotate code that you can directly copy and paste into your terminal using the 👇 icon.
With this demo, you can record an audio clip and select the number of samples you want to generate.
Make sure you have CUDA 11.7 and gcc/++ 9.0 for pytorch3d compatibility
👇 Install necessary components. This will do the environment configuration and install the corresponding rendering assets, prerequisite models, and pretrained models:
conda create --name a2p_env python=3.9
conda activate a2p_env
sh demo/install.sh
👇 Run the demo. You can record your audio and then render corresponding results!
python -m demo.demo
🎤 First, record your audio
⌛ Hold tight because the rendering can take a while!
You can change the number of samples (1-10) you want to generate, and download your favorite video by clicking on the download button on the top right of each video.
The code has been tested with CUDA 11.7 and python 3.9, gcc/++ 9.0
👇 If you haven't done so already via the demo setup, configure the environnments and download prerequisite models:
conda create --name a2p_env python=3.9
conda activate a2p_env
pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt
sh scripts/download_prereq.sh
👇 To get the rendering working, please also make sure you install pytorch3d.
pip install "git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d.git"
Please see CA Bodies repo for more details on the renderer.
To download any of the datasets, you can find them at https://github.com/facebookresearch/audio2photoreal/releases/download/v1.0/<person_id>.zip, where you can replace <person_id> with any of PXB184, RLW104, TXB805, or GQS883.
wget https://github.com/facebookresearch/audio2photoreal/releases/download/v1.0/<person_id>.zip
unzip <person_id>.zip -d dataset/
rm <person_id>.zip
👇 To download all of the datasets, you can simply run the following which will download and unpack all the models.
sh scripts/download_alldatasets.sh
Similarly, to download any of the models, you can find them at http://audio2photoreal_models.berkeleyvision.org/<person_id>_models.tar.
# download the motion generation
wget http://audio2photoreal_models.berkeleyvision.org/<person_id>_models.tar
tar xvf <person_id>_models.tar
rm <person_id>_models.tar
# download the body decoder/rendering assets and place them in the right place
mkdir -p checkpoints/ca_body/data/
wget https://github.com/facebookresearch/ca_body/releases/download/v0.0.1-alpha/<person_id>.tar.gz
tar xvf <person_id>.tar.gz --directory checkpoints/ca_body/data/
rm <person_id>.tar.gz
👇 You can also download all of the models with this script:
sh scripts/download_allmodels.sh
The above model script will download both the models for motion generation and the body decoder/rendering models. Please view the script for more details.
Once the dataset is downloaded and unzipped (via scripts/download_datasets.sh), it should unfold into the following directory structure:
|-- dataset/
|-- PXB184/
|-- data_stats.pth
|-- scene01_audio.wav
|-- scene01_body_pose.npy
|-- scene01_face_expression.npy
|-- scene01_missing_face_frames.npy
|-- ...
|-- scene30_audio.wav
|-- scene30_body_pose.npy
|-- scene30_face_expression.npy
|-- scene30_missing_face_frames.npy
|-- RLW104/
|-- TXB805/
|-- GQS883/
Each of the four participants (PXB184, RLW104, TXB805, GQS883) should have independent "scenes" (1 to 26 or so).
For each scene, there are 3 types of data annotations that we save.
*audio.wav: wavefile contining the raw audio (two channels, 1600*T samples) at 48kHz; channel 0 is the audio associated with the current person, channel 1 is the audio associated with their conversational partner.
*body_pose.npy: (T x 104) array of joint angles in a kinematic skeleton. Not all of the joints are represented with 3DoF. Each 104-d vector can be used to reconstruct a full-body skeleton.
*face_expression.npy: (T x 256) array of facial codes, where each 256-d vector reconstructs a face mesh.
*missing_face_frames.npy: List of indices (t) where the facial code is missing or corrupted.
data_stats.pth: carries the mean and std for each modality of each person.
For the train/val/test split the indices are defined in data_loaders/data.py as:
train_idx = list(range(0, len(data_dict["data"]) - 6))
val_idx = list(range(len(data_dict["data"]) - 6, len(data_dict["data"]) - 4))
test_idx = list(range(len(data_dict["data"]) - 4, len(data_dict["data"])))
for any of the four dataset participants we train on.
If you've properly installed the rendering requirements, you can then visualize the full dataset with the following command:
python -m visualize.render_anno
--save_dir <path/to/save/dir>
--data_root <path/to/data/root>
--max_seq_length <num>
The videos will be chunked lengths according to specificed --max_seq_length arg, which you can specify (the default is 600).
👇 For example, to visualize ground truth annotations for PXB184, you can run the following.
python -m visualize.render_anno --save_dir vis_anno_test --data_root dataset/PXB184 --max_seq_length 600
We train person-specific models, so each person should have an associated directory. For instance, for PXB184, their complete models should unzip into the following structure.
|-- checkpoints/
|-- diffusion/
|-- c1_face/
|-- args.json
|-- model:09d.pt
|-- c1_pose/
|-- args.json
|-- model:09d.pt
|-- guide/
|-- c1_pose/
|-- args.json
|-- checkpoints/
|-- iter-:07d.pt
|-- vq/
|-- c1_pose/
|-- args.json
|-- net_iter:06d.pth
There are 4 models for each person and each model has an associated args.json.
- a face diffusion model that outputs 256 facial codes conditioned on audio
- a pose diffusion model that outputs 104 joint rotations conditioned on audio and guide poses
- a guide vq pose model that outputs vq tokens conditioned on audio at 1 fps
- a vq encoder-decoder model that vector quantizes the continuous 104-d pose space.
To run the actual models, you will need to run the pretrained models and generate the associated results files before visualizing.
To generate the results file for the face,
python -m sample.generate
--model_path <path/to/model>
--num_samples <xsamples>
--num_repetitions <xreps>
--timestep_respacing ddim500
--guidance_param 10.0
The <path/to/model> should be the path to the diffusion model that is associated with generating the face.
E.g. for participant PXB184, the path might be ./checkpoints/diffusion/c1_face/model000155000.pt
The other parameters are:
--num_samples: number of samples to generate. To sample the full dataset, use 56 (except for TXB805, whcih is 58).
--num_repetitions: number of times to repeat the sampling, such that total number of sequences generated is (num_samples * num_repetitions).
--timestep_respacing: how many diffusion steps to take. Format will always be ddim<number>.
--guidance_param: how influential the conditioning is on the results. I usually use range 2.0-10.0, and tend towards higher for the face.
👇 A full example of running the face model for PXB184 with the provided pretrained models would then be:
python -m sample.generate --model_path checkpoints/diffusion/c1_face/model000155000.pt --num_samples 10 --num_repetitions 5 --timestep_respacing ddim500 --guidance_param 10.0
This generates 10 samaples from the dataset 1 time. The output results file will be saved to:
./checkpoints/diffusion/c1_face/samples_c1_face_000155000_seed10_/results.npy
To generate the corresponding body, it will be very similar to generating the face, except now we have to feed in the model for generating the guide poses as well.
python -m sample.generate
--model_path <path/to/model>
--resume_trans <path/to/guide/model>
--num_samples <xsamples>
--num_repetitions <xreps>
--timestep_respacing ddim500
--guidance_param 10.0
👇 Here, <path/to/guide/model> should point to the guide transformer. The full command would be:
python -m sample.generate --model_path checkpoints/diffusion/c1_pose/model000340000.pt --resume_trans checkpoints/guide/c1_pose/checkpoints/iter-0100000.pt --num_samples 10 --num_repetitions 5 --timestep_respacing ddim500 --guidance_param 10.0
Similarly, the output will be saved to:
./checkpoints/diffusion/c1_pose/samples_c1_pose_000340000_seed10_guide_iter-0100000.pt/results.npy
On the body generation side of things, you can also optionally pass in the --plot flag in order to render out the photorealistic avatar. You will also need to pass in the corresponding generated face codes with the --face_codes flag.
Optionally, if you already have the poses precomputed, you an also pass in the generated body with the --pose_codes flag.
This will save videos in the same directory as where the body's results.npy is stored.
👇 An example of the full command with the three new flags added is:
python -m sample.generate --model_path checkpoints/diffusion/c1_pose/model000340000.pt --resume_trans checkpoints/guide/c1_pose/checkpoints/iter-0100000.pt --num_samples 10 --num_repetitions 5 --timestep_respacing ddim500 --guidance_param 10.0 --face_codes ./checkpoints/diffusion/c1_face/samples_c1_face_000155000_seed10_/results.npy --pose_codes ./checkpoints/diffusion/c1_pose/samples_c1_pose_000340000_seed10_guide_iter-0100000.pt/results.npy --plot
The remaining flags can be the same as before. For the actual rendering api, please see Codec Avatar Body for installation etc.
Important: in order to visualize the full photorealistic avatar, you will need to run the face codes first, then pass them into the body generation code. It will not work if you try to call generate with --plot for the face codes.
There are four possible models you will need to train: 1) the face diffusion model, 2) the body diffusion model, 3) the body vq vae, 4) the body guide transformer. The only dependency is that 3) is needed for 4). All other models can be trained in parallel.
To train the face model, you will need to run the following script:
python -m train.train_diffusion
--save_dir <path/to/save/dir>
--data_root <path/to/data/root>
--batch_size <bs>
--dataset social
--data_format face
--layers 8
--heads 8
--timestep_respacing ''
--max_seq_length 600
Importantly, a few of the flags are as follows:
--save_dir: path to directory where all outputs are stored
--data_root: path to the directory of where to load the data from
--dataset: name of dataset to load; right now we only support the 'social' dataset
--data_format: set to 'face' for the face, as opposed to pose
--timestep_respacing: set to '' which does the default spacing of 1k diffusion steps
--max_seq_length: the maximum number of frames for a given sequence to train on
👇 A full example for training on person PXB184 is:
python -m train.train_diffusion --save_dir checkpoints/diffusion/c1_face_test --data_root ./dataset/PXB184/ --batch_size 4 --dataset social --data_format face --layers 8 --heads 8 --timestep_respacing '' --max_seq_length 600
Training the body model is similar to the face model, but with the following additional parameters
python -m train.train_diffusion
--save_dir <path/to/save/dir>
--data_root <path/to/data/root>
--lambda_vel <num>
--batch_size <bs>
--dataset social
--add_frame_cond 1
--data_format pose
--layers 6
--heads 8
--timestep_respacing ''
--max_seq_length 600
The flags that differ from the face training are as follows:
--lambda_vel: additional auxilary loss for training with velocity
--add_frame_cond: set to '1' for 1 fps. if not specified, it will default to 30 fps.
--data_format: set to 'pose' for the body, as opposed to face
👇 A full example for training on person PXB184 is:
python -m train.train_diffusion --save_dir checkpoints/diffusion/c1_pose_test --data_root ./dataset/PXB184/ --lambda_vel 2.0 --batch_size 4 --dataset social --add_frame_cond 1 --data_format pose --layers 6 --heads 8 --timestep_respacing '' --max_seq_length 600
To train a vq encoder-decoder, you will need to run the following script:
python -m train.train_vq
--out_dir <path/to/out/dir>
--data_root <path/to/data/root>
--batch_size <bs>
--lr 1e-3
--code_dim 1024
--output_emb_width 64
--depth 4
--dataname social
--loss_vel 0.0
--add_frame_cond 1
--data_format pose
--max_seq_length 600
👇 For person PXB184, it would be:
python -m train.train_vq --out_dir checkpoints/vq/c1_vq_test --data_root ./dataset/PXB184/ --lr 1e-3 --code_dim 1024 --output_emb_width 64 --depth 4 --dataname social --loss_vel 0.0 --data_format pose --batch_size 4 --add_frame_cond 1 --max_seq_length 600
Once you have the vq trained from 3) you can then pass it in to train the body guide pose transformer:
python -m train.train_guide
--out_dir <path/to/out/dir>
--data_root <path/to/data/root>
--batch_size <bs>
--resume_pth <path/to/vq/model>
--add_frame_cond 1
--layers 6
--lr 2e-4
--gn
--dim 64
👇 For person PXB184, it would be:
python -m train.train_guide --out_dir checkpoints/guide/c1_trans_test --data_root ./dataset/PXB184/ --batch_size 4 --resume_pth checkpoints/vq/c1_vq_test/net_iter300000.pth --add_frame_cond 1 --layers 6 --lr 2e-4 --gn --dim 64
After training these 4 models, you can now follow the "Running the pretrained models" section to generate samples and visualize results.
You can also visualize the corresponding ground truth sequences by passing in the --render_gt flag.
