Added SMPL+D (SMPL with per vertex displacement) in SMPLX. The displacement can be passed to SMPL forward with the detail
argument.
The code is modified to support scale, translation, and displacement for the SMPL model, which could be further used for downstream applications, e.g., register and animate a 3D scan code

SMPL-X (SMPL eXpressive) is a unified body model with shape parameters trained jointly for the face, hands and body. SMPL-X uses standard vertex based linear blend skinning with learned corrective blend shapes, has N = 10, 475 vertices and K = 54 joints, which include joints for the neck, jaw, eyeballs and fingers. SMPL-X is defined by a function M(θ, β, ψ), where θ is the pose parameters, β the shape parameters and ψ the facial expression parameters.
- 9 Apr 2024: The code is modified to support scale, translation, and displacement for the SMPL model, which could be further used for downstream applications, e.g., register and animate a 3D scan code
- 3 November 2020: We release the code to transfer between the models in the SMPL family. For more details on the code, go to this readme file. A detailed explanation on how the mappings were extracted can be found here.
- 23 September 2020: A UV map is now available for SMPL-X, please check the Downloads section of the website.
- 20 August 2020: The full shape and expression space of SMPL-X are now available.
To install the model please follow the next steps in the specified order:
- To install from PyPi simply run:
pip install smplxd
- Clone this repository and install it using the setup.py script:
git clone https://github.com/xthan/smplxd
python setup.py install
To download the SMPL-X model go to this project website and register to get access to the downloads section.
To download the SMPL+H model go to this project website and register to get access to the downloads section.
To download the SMPL model go to this (male and female models) and this (gender neutral model) project website and register to get access to the downloads section.
The loader gives the option to use any of the SMPL-X, SMPL+H, SMPL, and MANO models. Depending on the model you want to use, please follow the respective download instructions. To switch between MANO, SMPL, SMPL+H and SMPL-X just change the model_path or model_type parameters. For more details please check the docs of the model classes. Before using SMPL and SMPL+H you should follow the instructions in tools/README.md to remove the Chumpy objects from both model pkls, as well as merge the MANO parameters with SMPL+H.
You can either use the create function from body_models or directly call the constructor for the SMPL, SMPL+H and SMPL-X model. The path to the model can either be the path to the file with the parameters or a directory with the following structure:

│ └── SMPL_MALE.pkl
│ └── SMPL_NEUTRAL.pkl

The vertex correspondences between SMPL-X and MANO, FLAME can be downloaded from the project website. If you have extracted the correspondence data in the folder correspondences, then use the following scripts to visualize them:
- To view MANO correspondences run the following command:
python examples/vis_mano_vertices.py --model-folder $SMPLX_FOLDER --corr-fname correspondences/MANO_SMPLX_vertex_ids.pkl
- To view FLAME correspondences run the following command:
python examples/vis_flame_vertices.py --model-folder $SMPLX_FOLDER --corr-fname correspondences/SMPL-X__FLAME_vertex_ids.npy
After installing the smplx package and downloading the model parameters you should be able to run the demo.py script to visualize the results. For this step you have to install the pyrender and trimesh packages.
python examples/demo.py --model-folder $SMPLX_FOLDER --plot-joints=True --gender="neutral"
If you want to modify the global pose of the model, i.e. the root rotation and translation, to a new coordinate system for example, you need to take into account that the model rotation uses the pelvis as the center of rotation. A more detailed description can be found in the following link. If something is not clear, please let me know so that I can update the description.
