Description: # [![AITV](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eth-ait/aitviewer/main/aitv_logo.svg)](https://github.com/eth-ait/aitviewer) AITViewer
        
        A set of tools to visualize and interact with sequences of 3D data with cross-platform support on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
        
        ![AITV Sample](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eth-ait/aitviewer/main/aitv_sample.png)
        
        ## Features
        * Easy to use Python interface.
        * Load [SMPL[-H | -X]](https://smpl.is.tue.mpg.de/) / [MANO](https://mano.is.tue.mpg.de/) / [FLAME](https://flame.is.tue.mpg.de/) sequences and display them in an interactive viewer.
        * Built-in extensible GUI (based on Dear ImGui).
        * Prebuilt renderable primitives (cylinders, spheres, point clouds, etc).
        * Render videos of the currently loaded sequences.
        * Headless/Offscreen rendering.
        * Support live data feeds and rendering (e.g., webcam).
        * Modern OpenGL shader-based rendering pipeline for high performance (via ModernGL / ModernGL Window).

        ## Installation
        Basic Installation:
        ```commandline
        pip install aitviewer
        ```
        
        Or install locally (if you need to extend or modify code)
        ```commandline
        git clone git@github.com:eth-ait/aitviewer.git
        cd aitviewer
        pip install -e .
        ```
        
        Note that this does not install the GPU-version of PyTorch automatically. If your environment already contains it, you should be good to go, otherwise install it manually.
        
        ## Configuration
        The viewer loads default configuration parameters from [`aitvconfig.yaml`](aitviewer/aitvconfig.yaml). There are two ways how to override these parameters:
          - Create a file named `aitvconfig.yaml` and have the environment variable `AITVRC` point to it. Alternatively, you can point `AITVRC` to the directory containing `aitvconfig.yaml`.
          - Create a file named `aitvconfig.yaml` in your current working directory, i.e. from where you launch your python program.
        
        Note that the configuration files are loaded in this order, i.e. the config file in your working directory overrides all previous parameters.
        
        The configuration management is using [OmegaConf](https://omegaconf.readthedocs.io/en/2.1_branch/index.html). You will probably want to override the following parameters at your convenience:
        - `datasets.amass`: where [AMASS](https://amass.is.tue.mpg.de/) is stored if you want to load AMASS sequences.
        - `smplx_models`: where SMPLX models are stored, preprocessed as required by the [`smplx` package](https://github.com/vchoutas/smplx).
        - `export_dir`: where videos and other outputs are stored by default.
        
        
        ## Quickstart
        View an SMPL template
        
        ```py
        from aitviewer.renderables.smpl import SMPLSequence
        from aitviewer.viewer import Viewer
        
        smpl_template = SMPLSequence.t_pose()
        
        # Display in viewer.
        v = Viewer()
        v.scene.add(smpl_template)
        v.run()
        ```
        
        ## Examples
        
        Check out the [examples](examples/) for a few examples how to use the viewer. Some examples are:
        
        **`load_3dpw.py`**: Loads an SMPL sequence from the 3DPW dataset and displays it in the viewer.
        
        **`load_amass.py`**: Loads an SMPL sequence from the AMASS dataset and displays it in the viewer.
        
        **`load_obj.py`**: Loads meshes from OBJ files.
        
        **`load_template.py`**: Loads the template meshes of SMPL-H, MANO, and FLAME.
        
        **`render_primitives.py`**: Renders a bunch of spheres and lines.
        
        **`stream.py`**: Streams your webcam into the viewer.
        
        **`vertex_clicking.py`**: An example how to subclass the basic Viewer class for custom interaction.
