Virtual Humans Tutorial ========================= Welcome to these expanaded course notes for the **Virtual Humans** lecture series. This material is based on—but not officially affiliated with—the original **Virtual Humans** lecture series from the Max Planck Insitute for Informatics **MPI-INF**. The original course material was developed by: - **Prof. Dr. Gerard Pons-Moll** (MPI-INF, University of Tübingen) - **Xianghui Xie** - **Yuxuan Xue** - **Berna Kabadayi** For the original lecture slides, videos, and official resources, please visit: `Virtual Humans MPI-INF `_ This document was created with assistance of AI to expand upon the original course material. **Attribution** ----------------- This document was created with AI assistance to expand upon concepts, provide alternative explanations, and include additional details and derivations from the original lectures. All foundational content and credit belong entirely to the original authors listed above. This supplementary material **does not replace the original lecture content**. It is intended solely to aid in the understanding and further exploration of topics covered in the original course. Below you will find an overview of the **core lectures** on image formation, rotations & kinematics, surface representations, and Procrustes alignment. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Contents: lecture_01_1_historical_body_models lecture_01_2_introduction_to_human_models lecture_01_3_introduction_to_human_models_continued lecture_02_1_image_formation lecture_02_2_rotations_kinematic_chains lecture_03_1_surface_representations lecture_03_2_procrustes_alignment lecture_04_1_icp lecture_04_2_body_models lecture_05_1_body_model_training lecture_05_2_3d_registration lecture_06_1_SMPL_optimization lecture_06_2SMPL_model_fitting lecture_07_1_fitting_SMPL_to_IMU_optimization lecture_07_2_fitting_SMPL_to_IMU_learning lecture_08_1_vertex_based_clothing_modeling lecture_09_1_neual_implicit_and_point_based_clothing_models extended_materials_neural_radiance_fields extendeed_materials_gaussian_splatting references
