A PyTorch Implementation of MANO hand model.

MANO

A pytorch Implementation of MANO hand model

Description

This is a pytorch implementation of MANO hand model loader. The code is based on smplx package by Vassilis Choutas.

MANO is a differentiable hand model that can map hand pose parameters (joint angles and root location) and shape parameters into a 3D hand mesh. The model is very realistic, has low-dimensions, and can fit any human hand.

This repo was developed to be used in the GrabNet model to generate realistic hand grasps for unseen 3D objects.

Requirements

• Pytorch>=1.1.0

Installation

If Pytorch is not installed run the following code for cpu version:

pip install torch==1.5.1+cpu torchvision==0.6.1+cpu -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

or install the right PyTorch GPU version.

pip install git+'https://github.com/otaheri/MANO'

Downloading models

Inorder to download hand models:

• please register at the MANO website and download the models.
• put the models in a folder with the folowing structure

                     flat_hand_mean=False)

betas = torch.rand(batch_size, 10)*.1
pose = torch.rand(batch_size, n_comps)*.1
global_orient = torch.rand(batch_size, 3)
transl        = torch.rand(batch_size, 3)

output = rh_model(betas=betas,
                  global_orient=global_orient,
                  hand_pose=pose,

                  return_verts=True,
                  return_tips = True)


h_meshes = rh_model.hand_meshes(output)
j_meshes = rh_model.joint_meshes(output)

#visualize hand mesh only
h_meshes[0].show()

#visualize joints mesh only
j_meshes[0].show()

#visualize hand and joint meshes
hj_meshes = Mesh.concatenate_meshes([h_meshes[0], j_meshes[0]])
hj_meshes.show()
