stabilityai/stable-fast-3d · Issues when running requirements.txt

Aye, Read the Title!

If you’re here, you’ve probably already spent hours wrestling with this bloody stable-fast-3d repo. Welcome to the club, mate. I know little about Python (and frankly, I hate it for this exact reason). I’m posting this because it worked for me, but let’s be real—it might break your system, kill your wife, or burn your house down. Use Docker or something if you value your sanity (or your marriage).

Quick Fixes for the Cursed Dependencies

1. Gpytoolbox Compile Issues

The version of gpytoolbox in requirements.txt doesn’t have precompiled wheels, which means pip will try to build it from source—and likely fail. Save yourself the headache:

Replace "gpytoolbox==0.2.0" with "gpytoolbox==0.3.3" in requirements.txt.
Why? Because 0.3.3 has precompiled wheels, and we’re not here to debug C++ extensions for fun.

Command:

pip install gpytoolbox==0.3.3

2. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch' (Texture Baker)

When pip tries to install ./texture_baker/, it throws a tantrum about missing torch. This happens because pip creates an isolated build environment that ignores your globally installed packages. Fix it like this:

Install texture_baker manually with --no-build-isolation:
```
pip install ./texture_baker/ --no-build-isolation
```
Comment out ./texture_baker/ in requirements.txt so pip doesn’t try to install it again:
```
# ./texture_baker/
```

Why? Because pip is a diva, and sometimes you just need to slap it into submission.

3. Same Torch Issue with `./uv_unwrapper`

Guess what? ./uv_unwrapper has the same issue. Repeat the steps above:

Install manually with --no-build-isolation:

pip install ./uv_unwrapper/ --no-build-isolation

Comment it out in requirements.txt:
```
# ./uv_unwrapper/
```

At this point, you might be wondering why Python hates you. Don’t worry—it hates everyone equally.

Go for it

You should be good to go. You never know, take it for a spin!

pip install -r ./requirements.txt

Final Thoughts

If you’ve followed these steps, congratulations—you’ve survived the dependency gauntlet. If not, well… good luck. Pour yourself a stiff drink, light up a smoke, and remember: it’s not your fault. Python is just a hot mess.
