For the installation to be done correctly, please proceed only with CUDA-compatible GPU available. It requires 24GB GPU memory to run.

Clone the repo and create the environment:

git clone https://github.com/KovenYu/WonderJourney.git
cd WonderJourney
mamba create --name wonderjourney python=3.10
mamba activate wonderjourney

We are using Pytorch3D to perform rendering. Run the following commands to install it or follow their installation guide (it may take some time).

mamba install pytorch=1.13.0 torchvision pytorch-cuda=11.6 -c pytorch -c nvidia
mamba install -c fvcore -c iopath -c conda-forge fvcore iopath
mamba install -c bottler nvidiacub
mamba install pytorch3d -c pytorch3d

Install the rest of the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Load English language model for spacy:

python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

Export your OpenAI api_key (since we use GPT-4 to generate scene descriptions):

export OPENAI_API_KEY='your_api_key_here'

Download Midas DPT model and put it to the root directory.

wget https://github.com/isl-org/MiDaS/releases/download/v3_1/dpt_beit_large_512.pt

• Example config file

  To run an example, first you need to write a config. An example config ./config/village.yaml is shown below:

  runs_dir: output/56_village
  
  example_name: village
  
  seed: -1
  frames: 10
  save_fps: 10
  
  finetune_decoder_gen: True
  finetune_decoder_interp: False  # Turn on this for higher-quality rendered video
  finetune_depth_model: True
  
  num_scenes: 4
  num_keyframes: 2
  use_gpt: True
  kf2_upsample_coef: 4
  skip_interp: False
  skip_gen: False
  enable_regenerate: True
  
  debug: True
  inpainting_resolution_gen: 512
  
  rotation_range: 0.45
  rotation_path: [0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0]
  camera_speed_multiplier_rotation: 0.2
  

  The total frames of the generated example is num_scenes $\times$ num_keyframes. You can manually adjust rotation_path in the config file to control the rotation state of the camera in each frame. A value of $0$ indicates moving straight, $1$ signifies a right turn, and $-1$ indicates a left turn.

• Run

  python run.py --example_config config/village.yaml
  

  You will see results in output/56_village/{time-string}_merged.

We highly encourage you to add new images and try new stuff! You would need to do the image-caption pairing separately (e.g., using DALL-E to generate image and GPT4V to generate description).

• Add a new image in ./examples/images/.

• Add content of this new image in ./examples/examples.yaml.

  Here is an example:

  - name: new_example
    image_filepath: examples/images/new_example.png
    style_prompt: DSLR 35mm landscape
    content_prompt: scene name, object 1, object 2, object 3
    negative_prompt: ''
    background: ''

  • content_prompt: "scene name", "object 1", "object 2", "object 3"

  • negative_prompt and background are optional

  For controlled journey, you need to add control_text. Examples are as follow:

  - name: poem_jiangxue
    image_filepath: examples/images/60_poem_jiangxue.png
    style_prompt: black and white color ink painting
    content_prompt: Expansive mountainous landscape, old man in traditional attire, calm river, mountains
    negative_prompt: ""
    background: ""
    control_text: ["千山鸟飞绝", "万径人踪灭", "孤舟蓑笠翁", "独钓寒江雪"]
    
  - name: poem_snowy_evening
    image_filepath: examples/images/72_poem_snowy_evening.png
    style_prompt: Monet painting
    content_prompt: Stopping by woods on a snowy evening, woods, snow, village
    negative_prompt: ""
    background: ""
    control_text: ["Snowy Woods and Farmhouse: A secluded farmhouse, a frozen lake, a dense thicket, a quiet meadow, a chilly wind, a pale twilight, a covered bridge, a rustic fence, a snow-laden tree, and a frosty ground", "The Traveler's Horse: A restless horse, a jingling harness, a snowy mane, a curious gaze, a sturdy hoof, a foggy breath, a leather saddle, a woolen blanket, a frost-covered tail, and a patient stance", "Snowfall in the Woods: A gentle snowflake, a whispering wind, a soft flurry, a white blanket, a twinkling icicle, a bare branch, a hushed forest, a crystalline droplet, a serene atmosphere, and a quiet night", "Deep, Dark Woods in the Evening: A mysterious grove, a shadowy tree, a darkened sky, a hidden trail, a silent owl, a moonlit glade, a dense underbrush, a quiet clearing, a looming branch, and an eerie stillness"]

• Write a config config/new_example.yaml like ./config/village.yaml for the new example

• Run

  python run.py --example_config config/new_example.yaml
