1. Visual Results (More results can be found in our project page)

Text: a man steps forward and does a handstand.
GT	T2M	MDM	MotionDiffuse	Ours

Text: A man rises from the ground, walks in a circle and sits back down on the ground.
GT	T2M	MDM	MotionDiffuse	Ours

2. Installation

2.1. Environment

Our model can be learnt in a single GPU V100-32G

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate T2M-GPT

The code was tested on Python 3.8 and PyTorch 1.8.1.

2.2. Dependencies

bash dataset/prepare/download_glove.sh

2.3. Datasets

We are using two 3D human motion-language dataset: HumanML3D and KIT-ML. For both datasets, you could find the details as well as download link [here].

Take HumanML3D for an example, the file directory should look like this:

./dataset/HumanML3D/
├── new_joint_vecs/
├── texts/
├── Mean.npy # same as in [HumanML3D](https://github.com/EricGuo5513/HumanML3D) 
├── Std.npy # same as in [HumanML3D](https://github.com/EricGuo5513/HumanML3D) 
├── train.txt
├── val.txt
├── test.txt
├── train_val.txt
└── all.txt

2.4. Motion & text feature extractors:

We use the same extractors provided by t2m to evaluate our generated motions. Please download the extractors.

bash dataset/prepare/download_extractor.sh

2.5. Pre-trained models

The pretrained model files will be stored in the 'pretrained' folder:

bash dataset/prepare/download_model.sh

2.6. Render SMPL mesh (optional)

If you want to render the generated motion, you need to install:

sudo sh dataset/prepare/download_smpl.sh
conda install -c menpo osmesa
conda install h5py
conda install -c conda-forge shapely pyrender trimesh mapbox_earcut

3. Quick Start

A quick start guide of how to use our code is available in demo.ipynb

4. Train

Note that, for kit dataset, just need to set '--dataname kit'.

4.1. VQ-VAE

The results are saved in the folder output.

--total-iter 300000 \

--resume-pth output/VQVAE/net_last.pth

5.2. GPT

GPT eval

Follow the evaluation setting of text-to-motion, we evaluate our model 20 times and report the average result. Due to the multimodality part where we should generate 30 motions from the same text, the evaluation takes a long time.

python3 GPT_eval_multi.py  \
--exp-name TEST_GPT \
--batch-size 128 \
--num-layers 9 \
--embed-dim-gpt 1024 \
--nb-code 512 \
--n-head-gpt 16 \
--block-size 51 \
--ff-rate 4 \
--drop-out-rate 0.1 \
--resume-pth output/VQVAE/net_last.pth \
--vq-name VQVAE \
--out-dir output \
--total-iter 300000 \
--lr-scheduler 150000 \
--lr 0.0001 \
--dataname t2m \
--down-t 2 \

--quantizer ema_reset \
--eval-iter 10000 \
--pkeep 0.5 \
--dilation-growth-rate 3 \
--vq-act relu \
--resume-trans output/GPT/net_best_fid.pth

6. SMPL Mesh Rendering

SMPL Mesh Rendering

You should input the npy folder address and the motion names. Here is an example:

python3 render_final.py --filedir output/TEST_GPT/ --motion-list 000019 005485
