I'm following the tutorial and getting and error when trying to load ShapeNet:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/camilo/anaconda3/envs/pytorch3d/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pytorch3d/datasets/shapenet/shapenet_synset_dict_v1.json'
# Setup
if torch.cuda.is_available():
device = torch.device("cuda:0")
torch.cuda.set_device(device)
else:
device = torch.device("cpu")
SHAPENET_PATH = '/media/capcarde/shapenet/ShapeNetCore.v1'
shapenet_dataset = ShapeNetCore(SHAPENET_PATH)
The missing file is here: https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d/tree/master/pytorch3d/datasets/shapenet
A quick fix would be to just added it to your site-packages (where the error is saying the file is missing) - same problem came up for me.
dear @elcronos, as mentioned by @alexisbdr,
You should take shapenet_synset_dict_v1.json from that location

and add here home/camilo/anaconda3/envs/pytorch3d/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pytorch3d/datasets/shapenet/for you.
Make sure it is in envs
Let me know if you need further assistance or feel free to close the issue.
Thanks @alexisbdr and @albertotono. I was able to solve my problem with that dataset doing what you suggested. However, I'm leaving this issue open until is fixed in the installation.
