+# Hugging Face Spaces Deployment Guide
+
+## Overview
+This guide helps you deploy Hunyuan3D-2.1 to Hugging Face Spaces.
+
+## Files Created for HF Deployment
+
+1. **app.py** - Main entry point that HF Spaces will execute
+2. **packages.txt** - System-level dependencies (apt packages)
+3. **.dockerignore** - Excludes unnecessary files from Docker build
+4. **requirements.txt** - Updated with `spaces` library for ZeroGPU
+
+## Pre-Deployment Checklist
+
+### 1. Install Git LFS (Required for Large Files)
+```bash
+# On macOS
+brew install git-lfs
+
+# On Linux
+curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/github/git-lfs/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
+sudo apt-get install git-lfs
+
+# Initialize Git LFS
+git lfs install
+```
+
+### 2. Verify Files
+Make sure these files exist:
+- ✅ app.py
+- ✅ requirements.txt
+- ✅ packages.txt
+- ✅ README.md (with HF metadata)
+- ✅ .gitattributes (for LFS)
+- ✅ .dockerignore
+
+## Deployment Steps
+
+### Step 1: Stage All Files
+```bash
+cd /Users/hoangminh.ho/Works/research/Hunyuan-MT
+git add .
+```
+
+### Step 2: Commit Changes
+```bash
+git commit -m "Deploy to HF Spaces: Add app.py, packages.txt, update requirements and README"
+```
+
+### Step 3: Push to Hugging Face
+```bash
+git push hf main
+```
+
+## Expected Build Process
+
+When you push to HF Spaces, it will:
+
+1. **Install System Packages** (from packages.txt)
+   - ffmpeg
+   - build-essential
+   - OpenCV dependencies
+
+2. **Install Python Dependencies** (from requirements.txt)
+   - PyTorch with CUDA 12.4
+   - Gradio 5.33.0
+   - All model dependencies
+   - This can take 15-30 minutes
+
+3. **Build Custom Extensions**
+   - Compile mesh painter
+   - Install custom rasterizer wheel
+
+4. **Download Models** (on first run)
+   - Hunyuan3D-Shape model (~3.3GB)
+   - Hunyuan3D-Paint model (~2GB)
+
+## Monitoring Deployment
+
+1. **Check Build Logs:**
+   - Go to: https://huggingface.co/spaces/minhho/Hunyuan-MT
+   - Click "Building" or "Logs" tab
+
+2. **Common Build Issues:**
+
+   **Issue**: Build timeout
+   - **Solution**: Go to Settings → Set timeout to 60 minutes
+
+   **Issue**: Out of memory during build
+   - **Solution**: This is usually temporary, HF will retry
+
+   **Issue**: CUDA version mismatch
+   - **Solution**: Already configured for CUDA 12.x in requirements.txt
+
+   **Issue**: Custom rasterizer fails to install
+   - **Solution**: The .whl file is already included for Python 3.10
+
+## Post-Deployment
+
+### Testing the Space
+1. Wait for "Running" status
+2. Upload an image
+3. Click "Generate 3D"
+4. Wait 30-60 seconds for generation
+
+### Expected Performance
+- **Shape Generation**: 20-30 seconds on A100
+- **Texture Generation**: 30-40 seconds on A100
+- **Total**: ~60-90 seconds per image
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Space Won't Start
+
+**Check:**
+1. Build completed successfully (green checkmark)
+2. No errors in logs
+3. GPU is assigned (Settings → Hardware)
+
+**Common Fixes:**
+```bash
+# If app doesn't start, check logs for:
+# - Missing dependencies → Update requirements.txt
+# - Import errors → Check Python path in app.py
+# - CUDA errors → Verify GPU is allocated
+```
+
+### Model Loading Issues
+
+If models fail to download:
+1. Check internet connectivity in Space
+2. Verify model path: `tencent/Hunyuan3D-2.1`
+3. Check HF authentication (if model is gated)
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+If generation is slow:
+1. Verify A100 GPU is assigned
+2. Enable `--low_vram_mode` (already set in app.py)
+3. Check ZeroGPU is working (logs should show "zero.startup()")
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+You can modify `app.py` to change settings:
+
+```python
+sys.argv = [
+    'app.py',
+    '--model_path', 'tencent/Hunyuan3D-2.1',       # Model repository
+    '--subfolder', 'hunyuan3d-dit-v2-1',           # Model subfolder
+    '--texgen_model_path', 'tencent/Hunyuan3D-2.1', # Texture model
+    '--port', '7860',                               # Port (don't change)
+    '--host', '0.0.0.0',                           # Host (don't change)
+    '--device', 'cuda',                             # Use CUDA
+    '--mc_algo', 'mc',                             # Marching cubes algo
+    '--cache-path', '/tmp/hunyuan3d_cache',        # Cache location
+    '--low_vram_mode'                               # Enable VRAM optimization
+]
+```
+
+## Hardware Requirements
+
+### Minimum (Shape Only)
+- GPU: T4 (16GB VRAM)
+- RAM: 8GB
+- Storage: 10GB
+
+### Recommended (Shape + Texture)
+- GPU: A100 (40GB VRAM)
+- RAM: 16GB
+- Storage: 20GB
+
+## Support
+
+If you encounter issues:
+
+1. **Check HF Discussions**: https://huggingface.co/spaces/minhho/Hunyuan-MT/discussions
+2. **Review Official Docs**: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/spaces
+3. **GitHub Issues**: Report bugs to the original repository
+
+## Additional Notes
+
+- **First run will be slow** due to model downloads
+- **Subsequent runs will be faster** (models cached)
+- **ZeroGPU**: Automatically manages GPU allocation
+- **Persistent storage**: Use `/data` for persistent cache (requires persistent storage upgrade)
+
+## Success Indicators
+
+✅ Space shows "Running" status
+✅ No errors in logs
+✅ Models downloaded successfully
+✅ Test image generates 3D mesh
+✅ Download buttons work
+✅ 3D viewer displays correctly
+
+## Update Procedure
+
+To update your Space:
+
+```bash
+# Make changes locally
+git add .
+git commit -m "Update: description of changes"
+git push hf main
+```
+
+HF Spaces will automatically rebuild and redeploy.

+# Hugging Face Spaces Deployment - Changes Summary
+
+## Problem
+After pushing to HF Spaces, the Space was not building or running properly.
+
+## Root Causes Identified
+
+1. **app.py was not executable** - It imported from gradio_app but didn't actually run anything
+2. **Missing system dependencies** - No packages.txt file for apt packages
+3. **Missing spaces library** - Required for ZeroGPU support on HF Spaces
+4. **Incorrect README metadata** - Invalid field `python_version` in YAML header
+
+## Fixes Applied
+
+### 1. ✅ Fixed app.py
+**Before:**
+```python
+from gradio_app import *
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    pass  # Did nothing!
+```
+
+**After:**
+```python
+# Set up command-line arguments for HF Space
+sys.argv = ['app.py', '--model_path', 'tencent/Hunyuan3D-2.1', ...]
+
+# Actually import and run gradio_app
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    import gradio_app  # This executes the main code
+```
+
+### 2. ✅ Created packages.txt
+Added system dependencies required for building:
+- ffmpeg
+- libsm6, libxext6, libxrender-dev (for OpenCV)
+- libgomp1 (for parallel processing)
+- build-essential (for compiling C++ extensions)
+
+### 3. ✅ Updated requirements.txt
+Added:
+```
+spaces>=0.28.3  # Required for ZeroGPU support
+```
+
+### 4. ✅ Fixed README.md
+- Removed invalid `python_version: 3.10` field
+- Added `license: other` field
+- Added system requirements in description
+
+### 5. ✅ Created .dockerignore
+Optimizes build by excluding:
+- Git files
+- Python cache
+- Build artifacts
+- Test outputs
+
+### 6. ✅ Created DEPLOYMENT.md
+Complete deployment guide with:
+- Pre-deployment checklist
+- Step-by-step instructions
+- Troubleshooting guide
+- Configuration options
+
+## Files Modified
+- ✏️ app.py - Fixed to actually run the application
+- ✏️ requirements.txt - Added spaces library
+- ✏️ README.md - Fixed metadata and added requirements
+
+## Files Created
+- 📄 packages.txt - System dependencies
+- 📄 .dockerignore - Build optimization
+- 📄 DEPLOYMENT.md - Deployment guide
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### 1. Commit and Push
+```bash
+# If Git LFS is not installed yet:
+brew install git-lfs
+git lfs install
+
+# Stage all changes
+git add .
+
+# Commit
+git commit -m "Fix HF Spaces deployment: app.py, packages.txt, spaces library"
+
+# Push to HF Space
+git push hf main
+```
+
+### 2. Monitor Build
+1. Go to: https://huggingface.co/spaces/minhho/Hunyuan-MT
+2. Click "Building" to watch logs
+3. Wait 15-30 minutes for first build
+
+### 3. Expected Build Timeline
+- Installing system packages: 2-3 min
+- Installing Python dependencies: 15-20 min
+- Building custom extensions: 3-5 min
+- First run (downloading models): 5-10 min
+
+## What Should Happen Now
+
+### Build Phase (15-30 minutes)
+✅ Install apt packages from packages.txt
+✅ Install Python packages from requirements.txt
+✅ Compile C++ extensions (mesh painter)
+✅ Install custom rasterizer wheel
+
+### Runtime Phase (First Run)
+✅ Download Hunyuan3D-Shape model (~3.3GB)
+✅ Download Hunyuan3D-Paint model (~2GB)
+✅ Initialize ZeroGPU
+✅ Start Gradio interface on port 7860
+
+### After Deployment
+✅ Space shows "Running" status
+✅ Interface loads with example images
+✅ Users can upload images and generate 3D models
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### If Build Fails
+**Check logs for:**
+- Missing dependencies → Add to requirements.txt or packages.txt
+- Compilation errors → Check build-essential is installed
+- Timeout → Increase build timeout in Settings
+
+### If Space Won't Start
+**Check:**
+- Build completed (green checkmark)
+- GPU allocated (Settings → Hardware → A100)
+- No errors in application logs
+
+### If Generation Fails
+**Verify:**
+- Models downloaded successfully
+- CUDA is available
+- Sufficient VRAM (A100 recommended)
+
+## Configuration
+
+The app.py now uses these default settings for HF Spaces:
+- Model: tencent/Hunyuan3D-2.1
+- GPU: CUDA
+- VRAM Mode: Low (optimized)
+- Cache: /tmp/hunyuan3d_cache
+- Port: 7860 (required for HF)
+
+## Performance Expectations
+
+On A100 GPU:
+- Shape generation: 20-30 seconds
+- Texture generation: 30-40 seconds
+- Total per image: ~60-90 seconds
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+✅ Build completes without errors
+✅ Space status shows "Running"
+✅ Models download successfully
+✅ Test image generates 3D mesh
+✅ 3D viewer displays correctly
+✅ Download buttons work
