Something strange in the expoting obj file about econ HOT 5 CLOSED

I also encountered this problem, is there anything need to pay attention to?

from econ.

I have discussed this failure case in ECON's paper. This issue mainly comes from off-the-shelf HPS (Human Pose & Shape Estimation), which were trained on pseudo 3D ground truth, have bias towards mean pose, or to say, the bent legs / arms.

Apart from replacing the HPS approach with one trained on synthetic data with REAL grond-truth data, another workaround is to re-posed the reconstruction with pre-defined SMPL-X T-Pose parameters as follows:

1. change the avatarizer.py#L168

from

new_pose = smpl_out_lst[2].full_pose

to

new_pose = smpl_out_lst[0].full_pose

2. repose the ECON's reconstruction

python -m apps.avatarizer -n {filename}

Thank you so much,I will try it!

@YuliangXiu For some reason,I don't want to use the visible face from SMPL-X.But when I set ["hand"] or [] in config/econ.yaml and ran python -m apps.avatarizer -n {filename} (I had changed smpl_out_lst[2] to smpl_out_lst[0]),the output file {filename}_econ_pose.obj was wrong.It was only about 400KB and I coudn't open it.But the {filename}_econ_da.obj was normal.
Is this a normal phenomenon?How can I solve the problem.Is there any way that after running avatarizer.py,my hands are from SMPL-X and my face is actually mine.Thanks!

I just updated the code to fix this bug.
