Quick Start

Synchronous Usage

from dm.animate3d import Animate3DClient, ProcessParams

client = Animate3DClient(
    api_server_url="https://service.deepmotion.com",
    client_id="your_client_id",
    client_secret="your_client_secret",
)

# Check credit balance
balance = client.get_credit_balance()
print(f"Credit balance: {balance}")

# Get a character model
all_models = client.list_character_models()
model_id = all_models[0].id if all_models else None


# Callbacks
def on_progress(data):
    if data.position_in_queue:
        print(f"Position in queue: {data.position_in_queue})")
    else:
        print(f"Progress: {data.progress_percent}%")


def on_result(data):
    if data.result:
        print("Job completed successfully!")
        print(f"Output: {data.result.output}")
        # Download results
        client.download_job(data.rid, output_dir="./output")
    elif data.error:
        print(f"Job failed: {data.error.message}")


# Start job
if model_id:
    params = ProcessParams(
        formats=["bvh", "fbx", "mp4"],
        model_id=model_id,
        track_face=1,
        track_hand=1
    )

    print("Starting job...")
    # The call will block until the job finishes (or fails) by default
    rid = client.start_new_job(
        "video.mp4",
        params=params,
        result_callback=on_result,
        progress_callback=on_progress,

Error Handling

from dm.animate3d import (
    Animate3DError,      # Base exception
    AuthenticationError, # Authentication failed
    APIError,            # API call failed
    ValidationError,     # Input validation failed
    TimeoutError,        # Operation timed out
)

# Job errors are returned in the result callback via ResultCallbackData.error
def on_result(data):
    if data.error:
        print(f"Job failed: {data.error.message} (Code: {data.error.code})")
