How can I obtain the input 3D Trimesh?

[jgallegov]

Hello,
I am wondering about where can I obtain the input 3D TriMesh necessary to run the notebooks for my own images. Do I have to create it with an external method? please, can you point me to the right approach? Maybe we can use the output of another method like:

??

Thank you for your answer and for the amazing code!

Hi.
For anyone wondering about this, if you need to create a texture model on your own images, you have to use an external method (as menpo3d only provides methods for coloured or textured morphable model as far as I know).
You can use this CNN based method. I've successfully generated one using this method from Patrick Huber : https://github.com/patrikhuber/eos.
You have to use the same face model for building the texture model (notebook 2) and for fitting the whole thing to an image or video (notebooks 3 and 4).

Hi, Vincentleon! I wonder how to generated a texture 3D model, if you can give more details about how to make it work? Thanks in advance!
