## Install * Dependencies: * CUDA 11.6

• Setup the environment Install from conda file

      conda env create --name lion_env --file=env.yaml 
      conda activate lion_env 
  
      # Install some other packages 
      pip install git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git 
  
      # build some packages first (optional)
      python build_pkg.py
  

  Tested with conda version 22.9.0

Demo

run python demo.py, will load the released text2shape model on hugging face and generate a chair point cloud.

Released checkpoint and samples

• will be release soon
• put the downloaded file under ./lion_ckpt/

Training

data

• ShapeNet can be downloaded here.
• Put the downloaded data as ./data/ShapeNetCore.v2.PC15k or edit the pointflow entry in ./datasets/data_path.py for the ShapeNet dataset path.

train VAE

• run bash ./script/train_vae.sh $NGPU (the released checkpoint is trained with NGPU=4)

train diffusion prior

• require the vae checkpoint
• run bash ./script/train_prior.sh $NGPU (the released checkpoint is trained with NGPU=8 with 2 node)

evaluate a trained prior

• download the test data from here, unzip and put it as ./datasets/test_data/
• download the released checkpoint from above

checkpoint="./lion_ckpt/unconditional/airplane/checkpoints/model.pt" 
bash ./script/eval.sh $checkpoint  # will take 1-2 hour 

Evaluate the samples with the 1-NNA metrics

• download the test data from here, unzip and put it as ./datasets/test_data/
• run python ./script/compute_score.py
