Anny is a differentiable human body mesh model written in PyTorch.
Anny models a large variety of human body shapes, from infants to elders, using a common topology and parameter space.

### Features
- Anny is based on the tremendous work of the [MakeHuman](https://static.makehumancommunity.org/) community, which offers plenty of opportunities for extensions.
- We provide both full body and part-specific models for hands and faces.
- Anny is open-source and free.

### News
 - **2026-02-04**: v0.3: "smplx" topology available for interoperability with [SMPL-X](https://smpl-x.is.tue.mpg.de/) (non-commercial use only). Nipple blend shapes excluded from default settings (use `local_changes="all"` for backward compatibility).
 - **2025-11-21**: v0.2: support for different mesh topologies.
 - **2025-11-05**: v0.1: initial release.

## Installation

Full installation (depends on warp-lang, which may require some manual work to install):
```bash
pip install anny[warp,examples]
```

Minimal dependency installation (will use more memory with large batch sizes):
```bash
pip install anny
```

Installation from latest sources:
```bash
pip install anny[warp,examples]@git+https://github.com/naver/anny.git
```

## Tutorials

To get started with Anny, you can have a look at the different notebooks in the `tutorials` repository:
- [Shape parameterization](https://naver.github.io/anny/build/shape_parameterization.html)
- [Pose parameterization](https://naver.github.io/anny/build/pose_parameterization.html)
- [Texture coordinates](https://naver.github.io/anny/build/texture.html)
- [Alternative models](https://naver.github.io/anny/build/alternative_models.html)

## Interactive demo

We provide a simple Gradio demo enabling to interact with the model easily:
```bash
python -m anny.examples.interactive_demo
```
