## :desktop_computer: Requirements

NVIDIA GPUs are required for this project.
We conduct all the training on NVIDIA V100-32GiB (ShapeNet, FFHQ) and NVIDIA A100-80GiB (Objaverse). 
We have test the inference codes on NVIDIA V100.
We recommend using anaconda to manage the python environments.

The environment can be created via ```conda env create -f environment_ln3diff.yml```, and activated via ```conda activate ln3diff```.
If you want to reuse your own PyTorch environment, install the following packages in your environment:

```
# first, check whether you have installed pytorch (>=2.0) and xformer.
conda install -c conda-forge openexr-python git
pip install openexr lpips imageio kornia opencv-python tensorboard tqdm timm ffmpeg einops beartype imageio[ffmpeg] blobfile ninja lmdb webdataset opencv-python click torchdiffeq transformers
pip install git+https://github.com/nupurkmr9/vision-aided-gan.
```

### Download Models

The pretrained stage-1 VAE and stage-2 LDM can be downloaded via [OneDrive](https://entuedu-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/yushi001_e_ntu_edu_sg/ErdRV9hCYvlBioObT1v_LZ4Bnwye3sv6p5qiVZPNhI9coQ?e=nJgp8t).

Put the downloaded checkpoints under ```checkpoints``` folder for inference. The checkpoints directory layout should be

### Inference Commands

<strong>Note that to extract the mesh, 24GiB VRAM is required.</strong>

#### Stage-1 VAE 3D reconstruction

For (Objaverse) stage-1 VAE 3D reconstruction and extract VAE latents for diffusion learning, please run

```bash
bash shell_scripts/final_release/inference/sample_obajverse.sh
```

which shall give the following result:


The marching-cube extracted mesh can be visualized with Blender/MeshLab:

<img title="a title" alt="Mesh Visualization" src="./assets/stage1_vae_reconstruction/reconstruction_result/mesh-visualization.png">

**We upload the pre-extracted vae latents at [here](https://entuedu-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/yushi001_e_ntu_edu_sg/EnXixldDrKhDtrcuPM4vjQYBv06uY58F1mF7f7KVdZ19lQ?e=nXQNdm), which contains the correponding VAE latents (with shape 32x32x12) of 76K G-buffer Objaverse objects. Feel free to use them in your own task.**

For more G-buffer Objaverse examples, download the [demo data](https://entuedu-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/yushi001_e_ntu_edu_sg/EoyzVJbMyBhLoKFJbbsq6bYBi1paLwQxIDjTkO1KjI4b1g?e=sJc3rQ).


#### Stage-2 Text-to-3D

We train 3D latent diffusion model on top of the stage-1 extracted latents. 
For the following bash inference file, to extract mesh from the generated tri-plane, set ```--export_mesh True```. To change the text prompt, set the ```prompt``` variable. For unconditional sampling, set the cfg guidance ```unconditional_guidance_scale=0```. Feel free to tune the cfg guidance scale to trade off diversity and fidelity. 

Note that the diffusion sampling batch size is set to ```4```, which costs around 16GiB VRAM. The mesh extraction of a single instance costs 24GiB VRAM.

For text-to-3D on Objaverse, run

```bash
bash shell_scripts/final_release/inference/sample_obajverse.sh
```

For text-to-3D on ShapeNet, run one of the following commands (which conducts T23D on car, chair and plane.):
```bash
bash shell_scripts/final_release/inference/sample_shapenet_car_t23d.sh
```

```bash
bash shell_scripts/final_release/inference/sample_shapenet_chair_t23d.sh
```

```bash
bash shell_scripts/final_release/inference/sample_shapenet_plane_t23d.sh
```

For text-to-3D on FFHQ, run 

```bash
bash shell_scripts/final_release/inference/sample_ffhq_t23d.sh
```


## :running_woman: Training

### Dataset

For Objaverse, we use the rendering provided by [G-buffer Objaverse](https://aigc3d.github.io/gobjaverse/). A demo subset for stage-1 VAE reconstruction can be downloaded from [here](https://entuedu-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/yushi001_e_ntu_edu_sg/Eb6LX2x-EgJLpiHbhRxsN9ABnEaSyjG-tsVBcUr_dQ5dnQ?e=JXWQo1). Note that for Objaverse training, we pre-process the raw data into [wds-dataset](https://github.com/webdataset/webdataset) shards for fast and flexible loading. The sample shard data can be found in [here](https://entuedu-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/yushi001_e_ntu_edu_sg/ErtZQgnEH5ZItDqdUaiVbJgBe4nhZveJemQRqDW6Xwp7Zg?e=Zqt6Ss).

For ShapeNet, we render our own data with foreground mask for training, which can be downloaded from [here](https://entuedu-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/yushi001_e_ntu_edu_sg/EijBXIC_bUNOo0L3wnJKRqoBCqVnhhT_BReYRc1tc_0lrA?e=VQwWOZ). For training, we convert the raw data to LMDB for faster data loading. The pre-processed LMDB file can be downloaded from [here](https://entuedu-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/yushi001_e_ntu_edu_sg/Ev7L8Als8K9JtLtj1G23Cc0BTNDbhCQPadxNLLVS7mV2FQ?e=C5woyE).


For FFHQ, we use the pre-processed dataset from [EG3D](https://github.com/NVlabs/eg3d) and compress it into LMDB, which can also be found in the onedrive link above.
