This repository holds the code for MoSh++, introduced in AMASS, ICCV'19. MoSh++ is the upgraded version of MoSh, Sig.Asia'2014. Given a labeled marker-based motion capture (mocap) c3d file and the correspondences of the marker labels to the locations on the body, MoSh can return model parameters for every frame of the mocap sequence. The current MoSh++ code works with the following models:

• SMPL
• SMPL+H
• SMPL-X
• MANO
• Objects
• SMALL

The Current repository requires Python 3.7 and chumpy; a CPU based auto-differentiation package. This package is assumed to be used along with SOMA, the mocap auto-labeling package. Please install MoSh++ inside the conda environment of SOMA. Clone the moshpp repository, and run the following from the root directory:

sudo apt install libtbb-dev

pip install -r requirements.txt

cd src/moshpp/scan2mesh
sudo apt install libeigen3-dev
pip install -r requirements.txt
2. sudo apt install libtbb-dev
cd mesh_distance
make

cd ../../../..
python setup.py install

This repository is a complementary package to SOMA, an automatic mocap solver. Please refer to the SOMA repository for tutorials and use cases.
