This directory contains code that generates partial point clouds from ShapeNet models. To use it:


Install Blender.
Create a model list. Each line of the model list should be in the format [synset_id]/[model_id].
Run blender -b -P render_depth.py [ShapeNet directory] [model list] [output directory] [num scans per model] to render the depth images. The images will be stored in OpenEXR format.
Run python3 process_exr.py [model list] [intrinsics file] [output directory] [num scans per model] to convert the .exr files into 16 bit PNG depth images and point clouds in the model's coordinate frame.
