testing problem

[lisa676]

Hi dear @ManifoldFR I am trying to run this modified version in my system. Everything is right but when I go for second step, I mean when I run refine_hmr.py then I'm getting this error
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 0: invalid start byte

It seems that problem is in loading basicModel_f_lbs_10_207_0_v1.1.0.pkl in smpl_webuser/serialization.py after downloading SMPL files from SMPL website. These files are based on Python2 but as you mentioned that this repository is modified to work on Python3, so this may be the possible reason.

I'm using Python 3.7 and Tensorflow 15. Below is screenshot of error.

In above screenshot SMPL directory means, I downloaded it from SMPL website including pkl files.

Am I missing something? Is there any need to download SMPL files and then to load basicModel_f_lbs_10_207_0_v1.1.0.pkl in serialization.py?

well, you can copy this repo https://github.com/DogeStudio/SMPL3 to smpl directry, which write with python3, and remeber to change the package path.
