Questions readers ask

Before you start

Where are the code and the datasets?

In one shared folder with a CHAPTER_NN subfolder per chapter, each holding CODE and DATA side by side. Enter your email above: the link to that folder and to the companion, where every chapter page lists its files, arrives in your inbox.

The code fails on my machine. What now?

Create the DATAS3D environment from the environment.yml file in the shared folder: versions are pinned and every chapter was re-run against them. The companion's Setup page and each chapter page note any file names that differ from the print.

Which Python version, and do I need a GPU?

Python 3.10. Chapters 1 to 12, 14 and 17 run on any laptop. Segment Anything (chapter 13), graph deep learning (chapter 15) and 3D generative AI (chapter 18) are faster with a CUDA GPU and are optional.

How big are the datasets?

The code is small. Datasets range from a few megabytes to about 500 MB per file, so download only the chapters you are working on. Each chapter page shows file sizes and a 3D preview first.
