• Execute on-demand features on didimos
• Supports multiple profiles as an easy way to change between environments or even accounts

Quickstart

1. Install

The CLI is written in Python 3 and is distributed as package on PyPI and can be installed with pip.

pip3 install didimo-cli

If you already have a previous version installed, you should execute:

pip3 install didimo-cli --upgrade

2. Configure with your API Key

Create a new configuration and input your API Key. If you do not have an API Key, please refer to the Getting an API Key section.

didimo init <configuration name>

After setting up the CLI, you can check your account with:

didimo account

3. Create a didimo

Now that the CLI is configured, let's create a didimo based on a photo.

didimo new photo <path to the photo>

The CLI waits for the didimo to be created and downloads the result in a zip file.

Generating a didimo may include several options, as described on our developer portal.

Didimo CLI currently accepts the following features (-f):

• oculus_lipsync
• simple_poses
• arkit
• aws_polly

The CLI accepts following output formats (-p):

• glTF
• FBX

In addition to those, it also accepts the definition of other parameters:

• the maximum texture dimension (-m)
• the avatar structure, which controls the output as a full-body or a head-only didimo (--avatar_structure)
• the garments that must be applied to a full-body didimo (--garment)
• the selected body gender for the didimo (--gender)

Input type accepts:

• photo
• rgbd (currently only tested with Apple depth images)

Please check all the options and accepted values using the command below.

didimo new --help

4. Generate a package with hairs deformed for the newly generated didimo

Now that we have a didimo package, we may generate a package with Didimo's default set of hairs.

didimo execute hairsdeform <path to the didimo package>

5. Explore

You can list your didimos with:

didimo list

To list the demo didimos use:

didimo list-demo-didimos

For more help, check the documentation on each command with the --help option.

4. Batch processing

The Didimo CLI supports batch processing of photo inputs automatically. Simply provide a path to a directory containing the input files and all files with be processed. Alternatively, you can point to a zip file containing the input files.

didimo new photo /path_to_batch_input_files

Currently, only photo input is supported by batch processing.
