Any way to get RingNet run on Colab?

[xamxixixo]

Hello, since my computer does not support CUDA 9, so I installed it on Google Colab. But Colab does not support virtualenv, and RingNet requires virtualenv to use Mesh.

Any way to get RingNet run on Colab?
Thank you.

I have never tried to run it on Colab. But theoretically it should be possible. We use psbody.mesh to save the mesh obj files. You can use any other mesh packages like trimesh or something else to do so which might be compatible with colab.

@xamxixixo Hi, I am also interested in running RingNet on Colab. Were you able to make it work?

@Sarmyt I was able to make it work. Now the inference code given here works perfectly fine on colab. If you have specific question let me know, I may be of help.
@xamxixixo I skipped the virtual env part because colab notebook essentially makes a VM for current session so I didnt think it was necessary to make a virtual env. Apart from that, install tensorflow==1.12.0 alongwith tensorflow-gpu==1.12.0
Also the mesh package in the fork: https://github.com/TimoBolkart/mesh
worked for me.

@Fsajjad99 do you mind sharing the colab notebook? I'm having problems installing the environment for Python 2.7 there

Hey @Fsajjad99, I'm interested in the notebook as well. Would you mind sharing the link to Colab or mailing it to me?
