PhysXNet / PhysX-Mobility: renders, part assets and annotations
Multi-view renders, per-part meshes, preprocessed geometry, part masks and text annotations for the PhysXNet (PhysX-Anything) and PhysX-Mobility (PartNet-Mobility) objects, plus articulation-state augmented ("posed") copies of these objects.
Licensing. Everything here is derived from upstream datasets that keep their own terms: PhysXNet / PhysX-Anything, and PartNet-Mobility (SAPIEN), which restricts redistribution. Use this data only under those upstream licenses. Access is gated and intended for collaborators.
0. Conventions
- Data root. Every archive extracts relative to one data root, written
$DATA. The layout under$DATAis the same as on the original cluster (where$DATA=/group/articulated-physx-gen/xiaoye). Section 1.2 says where each archive goes. - Object ids. PhysXNet ids are integers (
10017). Mobility ids are PartNet-Mobility ids (102588). Posed objects are<base_id>-s<k>(10017-s1): the same object re-articulated to a sampled joint state. A posed object has its own directory next to the original in every tree, so the posed archives extract into the same folders as the original ones. - Renders are 1024×1024 RGBA PNGs (alpha = object mask), 25 random Hammersley views per object
(
000.png … 024.png), with cameras intransforms.json({aabb, scale, offset, frames[25]{file_path, camera_angle_x, transform_matrix}}).

2. Additions of 2026-10 (sharded, uploaded 2026-10-23)
70 tar.zst shards, 6,465,564 files, 1,458.5 GB unpacked / 736.0 GB on the Hub. Every shard extracts
relative to $DATA:
tar -I zstd -xf <shard> -C $DATA
The one exception is G0_meta/repo_eval_splits_and_records_000.tar.zst, which extracts relative to the
project code repository root. Shards of one unit never split an object directory, so you can extract any
subset. MANIFEST/ has each shard's file list (lists/<shard>.list.gz), SHA256SUMS and inventory.json
(files, bytes, sha256 per shard). Check downloads with sha256sum -c MANIFEST/SHA256SUMS.

…/renders_output = PhysX-Anything/preprocessed_data/renders_output. For a complete tree, extract
section 1 first, then every shard of section 2 into the same $DATA. Posed objects and originals live
in different directories, so nothing overwrites anything.
3. Needed for training but not uploaded, and how to reproduce it
Sections 1–2 hold everything that is expensive or impossible to regenerate. Training also needs a few
derived files. They were left out because they are large, take only hours to rebuild, or depend on
the software environment. The scripts named below live in the project code repository (shared with
collaborators, commit 3e3c319). Their slurm launchers carry cluster-specific #SBATCH headers and
default paths, so set ROOT_DIR / IMAGE_ROOT / OUTPUT_ROOT for your machine.
| Item | Needed for | Size | Rebuild cost | Section |
|---|---|---|---|---|
JSONL image paths pointed at your $DATA |
training + eval | — | seconds | 3.1 |
| DINOv3 patch features for every render | training (and eval on fixed views) | 2.57 TB | ≈20 GPU·h (H200) | 3.2 |
| Tokenized dataset cache (LLaMA-Factory Arrow) | training | 22–42 GB each | ≈1 h on 32 CPU cores | 3.3 |
| GT depth maps | only depth-supervised variants | 19 GB | CPU hours | 3.4 |
| 25-view part masks of posed objects | only re-deriving posed 2D boxes | — | ≈56 GPU·h | 3.5 |
| Annotations / JSONL / posed objects / part meshes from scratch | only if the uploaded ones are lost | — | CPU/GPU days | 3.6 |
Already on the Hub and needed as-is: renders (sections 1–2), JSONL (G1_jsonl/), frame-correction
tables and evaluation splits (G0_meta/repo_eval_splits_and_records_000, which extracts into the code repository), and
the GT geometry and masks used by evaluation (G3_gt_geometry/, G4_part_masks/, section 1).
3.1 Point the JSONL at your data root
Every absolute path in the JSONL files (the images field) starts with
/group/articulated-physx-gen/xiaoye. Either create that path as a symlink to $DATA, or rewrite it:
for d in $DATA/PhysX-Anything/runs/physx_attr_preprocess/*/llamafactory_data; do
sed -i "s#/group/articulated-physx-gen/xiaoye#$DATA#g" $d/*.jsonl
done
Do this before building a cache (3.3). For a cache built with the old paths,
scripts/rewrite_tokenized_image_paths.py --input-cache … --output-cache … --image-root-override … --mobility-image-root-override …
rewrites it in place of a rebuild.
3.2 DINOv3 features (required for training)
One .pt file per rendered view, at the mirrored path <image_root>_dinofeat/<id>/<view>.pt
(1.62 MB, bf16, shape (4, 196, 1024): ViT-L/16 hidden states of layers 4/11/17/23 at 224 px). Training
finds a view's feature by appending _dinofeat to its image root, so write the features next to the
renders:
Image root (under $DATA) |
Feature root | Views | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
PhysX-Anything/preprocessed_data/renders_output/renders_cond |
…/renders_cond_dinofeat |
1.43 M (originals + posed) | 2.23 TB |
physx_mobility/PhysX_mobility/renders |
…/renders_dinofeat |
0.18 M | 0.29 TB |
PhysX-Anything/preprocessed_data/renders_output/renders_cond_fixed_view |
…/renders_cond_fixed_view_dinofeat |

The same command with --image-root mobility=…/renders and physxnet_fixed=…/renders_cond_fixed_view
covers the other two roots. Sharded slurm launchers:
data_preprocess/physxnet/slurm_export_dino_features_{renders_cond,mobility_renders,renders_cond_fixed_view}_sharded_a100.sh
(one array task per shard). Throughput is ≈83k views/h on one H200. The run is resumable
(--skip-valid-existing re-does files that are missing or contain NaNs).
3.3 Tokenized cache (required for training)
LLaMA-Factory reads a pre-tokenized Arrow cache built from the JSONL and the base model's tokenizer.
The cache depends on package versions, so pin transformers 5.2.0 / datasets 4.0.0 / accelerate 1.11.0 /
peft 0.18.1 / trl 0.24.0 (pip install trl pulls datasets 5.x; reinstall 4.0.0 afterwards). With those
pins, caches built on different machines are byte-identical. Build it CPU-only:
# DATA_TAG picks the JSONL: v3allclass25v (originals) or v3allclass25v_pose4 (originals + posed).
# ARM / ABL pick the tokenization variant; the current default is ARM=2 ABL=nodepth+nosil (cache "B").
ARM=2 ABL=nodepth+nosil DATA_TAG=v3allclass25v_pose4 \
bash code_checks/mesh_query_latent_ablation/scripts/run_prepare_cache_cpu.sh # or sbatch it
Before running it, three things must match your machine:
ROOT_DIRat the top of the script must point to your checkout of the code repository.- The micromamba env name is hard-coded as
shapellm-omni-blackwell. Create or rename yours, or edit the check. - The data symlink:
runs/in the code repository must link to$DATA/PhysX-Anything/runs, so the JSONL is found atruns/physx_attr_preprocess/<dataset>/llamafactory_data/.
The script sources code_checks/mesh_query_latent_ablation/scripts/ablation_env.sh for the data
directory, cutoff (5120) and grid constants (BBOX_QUANTIZATION_BINS=64 SIMREADY_VOXEL_DEFINE=64 ARTICULATION_TEXT_CONVENTION=meshframe_v3_grid64). It writes <cache>.building, runs a gate check, then
renames the cache into place. Measured: 785k rows ≈ 50 min, 1.48 M rows ≈ 65 min on 32 cores. Use one
thread per worker (OMP_NUM_THREADS=1), because more threads per worker deadlock in libgomp.
3.4 GT depth maps (optional)
scripts/render_gt_depth_targets.py --datasets physxnet,physxnet_fixed_view,mobility --npz-root <out> --shard i/N
ray-casts the GT mesh with open3d from each view's transforms.json. It writes
<out>/<tree>/<id>/<view>.npz (504×504 float16 z-depth, hit mask, 18×18 token depth). It runs on CPU and
self-checks the hit mask against the PNG alpha (IoU ≥ 0.97 expected). Only depth-supervised variants
use it.
3.5 Part masks of posed objects (optional)
Masks for posed objects were deleted after their 2D part boxes (uploaded in G0_meta/part_boxes_2d_*)
were exported. To recreate them, replay each object's cameras in Blender:
data_preprocess/physxnet/4_render_cond_partseg.py --camera_mode replay_from_transforms (Mobility:
data_preprocess/mobility/render_cond_mobility_partseg.py). Then export boxes with
code_checks/partseg_sam_validation/scripts/export_gt_part_bboxes.py. Set BLENDER_THREADS=<n> and
OMP/OIDN_NUM_THREADS, because Blender and OIDN size their thread pools by the machine's core count,
not the job's CPU limit. Throughput is ≈500 objects/h per GPU.

4. Verification (2026-10-23)
Each archive in section 1 was streamed and indexed member by member (path, size, md5) and compared
with the cluster copy. All files matched by path and size, with nothing found only on the Hub.
Random md5 samples matched in every archive: 1,000/1,000 for renders_cond.tar.zst, 400/400 for
each of the others.
For section 2, each shard was checked twice. Before upload, its member count had to equal its file list. After upload, its size and sha256 on the Hub had to equal the local copy (70/70 passed, with no "file changed while reading" warnings). A round trip on one JSONL shard (download, extract, md5) reproduced the source file byte for byte.
