A rapid prototyping platform focused on modeling realistic human bodies

About HBM

Human Body Models (HBM) is a code base developed by Yansel González Tejeda for his PhD research at the Computer Science department at Paris Lodron University of Salzburg. It is a rapid prototyping platform focused on modeling realistic human bodies. It contains generative models based on the successfully SCAPE (TBD) and SMPL models. HBM is written with Python in a tremendously "chatty" way to make it especially easy to understand to people with all academic backgrounds (including those without it - and me!). Note that this code is not recommended for production purposes, you can use it at your own risk though.

NOTE: This is a work in progress Things will probably be wonky for a while. Until the code base becomes stable, you should expect several changes in the future. That being said, no drastic changes are planned.
