Key features include: - Data structure for storing and manipulating triangle meshes - Efficient operations on triangle meshes (projective transformations, graph convolution, sampling, loss functions) - A differentiable mesh renderer PyTorch3d is designed to integrate smoothly with deep learning methods for predicting and manipulating 3D data. For this reason, all operators in PyTorch3d: - Are implemented using PyTorch tensors - Can handle minibatches of hetereogenous data - Can be differentiated - Can utilize GPUs for acceleration Within FAIR, PyTorch3d has been used to power research projects such as [Mesh R-CNN](https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.02739). ## Installation For detailed instructions refer to [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md). ## License PyTorch3d is released under the [BSD-3-Clause License](LICENSE). ## Tutorials Get started with PyTorch3d by trying one of the tutorial notebooks. ||| |:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|:--------------------------------------------------:| | [Deform a sphere mesh to dolphin](https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d/blob/master/docs/tutorials/deform_source_mesh_to_target_mesh.ipynb)| [Bundle adjustment](https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d/blob/master/docs/tutorials/bundle_adjustment.ipynb) | | | |:------------------------------------------------------------:|:--------------------------------------------------:| | [Render textured meshes](https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d/blob/master/docs/tutorials/render_textured_meshes.ipynb)| [Camera position optimization](https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d/blob/master/docs/tutorials/camera_position_optimization_with_differentiable_rendering.ipynb)| ## Documentation Learn more about the API by reading the PyTorch3d [documentation](https://pytorch3d.readthedocs.org/).
