@Hcris1124 You need to get checkpoints before running the demo.

Thank you for your excellent work.
I still don’t fully understand Ubuntu.
I’m trying to set up the environment for an RTX 5070 Ti, but when I try to build PyTorch3D with:

python setup.py install

I get an error saying that the file cannot be found.
Could you tell me where I should place the following files you provided?

• requirements.txt
• sam3d-objects-single.yml
• sam3d-objects.yml

Thank you.

Hi @optimas28,

Some cd commands were skipped. As for the PyTorch3D installation, the command python setup.py install should be executed under the PyTorch3D project root.

sam3d-objects-single.yml can be put anywhere as it doesn't depend on any project.

requirements.txt and sam3d-objects.yml list all packages for reference purposes, i.e., if some package is missing, they can be referred to.

I hope it helps.

Thank you very much for your kind response.
I tried it, but it didn’t work.
I feel like I may have made a mistake from the very beginning.
If possible, could you please teach me the steps in a way that even a beginner can understand?
I’m sorry for making such a selfish request
Thank you.

I was struggling with a dependency problem for three days, and it was driving me crazy.
But you saved me in the end. Seriously, thanks a lot—I really appreciate it!

@optimas28 You may copy/paste this gist to ChatGPT. It can generate very detailed steps for you.

@Lona-arnoa You are welcome! I am glad to hear it helps. My intention for this gist was that I anticipated others might face the same problem, so I posted it.
