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'

#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]])
