| # Preparation | |
| ### Installation | |
| **We highly recommand that you use Anaconda for Installation** | |
| ``` | |
| conda create -n simswap python=3.6 | |
| conda activate simswap | |
| conda install pytorch==1.8.0 torchvision==0.9.0 torchaudio==0.8.0 cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch | |
| (option): pip install --ignore-installed imageio | |
| pip install insightface==0.2.1 onnxruntime moviepy | |
| (option): pip install onnxruntime-gpu (If you want to reduce the inference time)(It will be diffcult to install onnxruntime-gpu , the specify version of onnxruntime-gpu may depends on your machine and cuda version.) | |
| ``` | |
| - ***We have now updated the prepare document. The main change gpu version of onnx is supported now. If you have configured the environment before, now use pip install onnxruntime-gpu ,You can increase the computing speed.*** | |
| - We use the face detection and alignment methods from **[insightface](https://github.com/deepinsight/insightface)** for image preprocessing. Please download the relative files and unzip them to ./insightface_func/models from [this link](https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21ADJ0aAOSsc90neY&cid=4A83B6B633B029CC&id=4A83B6B633B029CC%215837&parId=4A83B6B633B029CC%215834&action=locate). | |
| - We use the face parsing from **[face-parsing.PyTorch](https://github.com/zllrunning/face-parsing.PyTorch)** for image postprocessing. Please download the relative file and place it in ./parsing_model/checkpoint from [this link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/154JgKpzCPW82qINcVieuPH3fZ2e0P812/view). | |
| - The pytorch and cuda versions above are most recommanded. They may vary. | |
| - Using insightface with different versions is not recommanded. Please use this specific version. | |
| - These settings are tested valid on both Windows and Ubuntu. | |
| ### Pretrained model | |
| There are two archive files in the drive: **checkpoints.zip** and **arcface_checkpoint.tar** | |
| - **Copy the arcface_checkpoint.tar into ./arcface_model** | |
| - **Unzip checkpoints.zip, place it in the root dir ./** | |
| [[Google Drive]](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jV6_0FIMPC53FZ2HzZNJZGMe55bbu17R?usp=sharing) | |
| [[Baidu Drive]](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1wFV11RVZMHqd-ky4YpLdcA) Password: ```jd2v``` | |
| **Simswap 512 (optional)** | |
| The checkpoint of **Simswap 512 beta version** has been uploaded in [Github release](https://github.com/neuralchen/SimSwap/releases/download/512_beta/512.zip).If you want to experience Simswap 512, feel free to try. | |
| - **Unzip 512.zip, place it in the root dir ./checkpoints**. | |
| ### Note | |
| We expect users to have GPU with at least 3G memory. For those who do not, we provide [[Colab Notebook implementation]](https://colab.research.google.com/github/neuralchen/SimSwap/blob/main/SimSwap%20colab.ipynb). | |
