Below is a tested combination of library versions that are compatible. Start here if you are having trouble.
Environment Details
- Python: 3.10.4
- PyTorch: 2.4.1 (
py3.10_cuda12.1_cudnn9.1.0_0build) - PyTorch-CUDA: 12.1
- PyTorch3D: 0.7.8 (
py310_cu121_pyt241build) - Torch-Geometric: 2.6.1
- Torch-Cluster: 1.6.3 (
+pt24cu121build) - Torch-Scatter: 2.1.2 (
+pt24cu121build) - Torch-Sparse: 0.6.18 (
+pt24cu121build) - Torch-Spline-Conv: 1.2.2 (

Notes
- Make sure to install the exact versions listed above to avoid compatibility issues.
- These libraries are designed to work with CUDA 12.1 and cuDNN 9.1.0, so ensure your system supports these versions.
- All other libraries should be fairly easy to pip/conda install.
Training
Pretraining PointRTD on ShapeNetCore.v2
Download the ShapeNetCore.v2 using the instructions found in the README
Run through the provided pretraining notebook:
pretrain_pointRTD.ipynb will produce pretraining checkpoints located in ./checkpoints/Pretrain_PointRTD/CR_XX/pointrtd_epoch_XX_CR_XX.pth
Once you have a satisfactory checkpoint, create a folder ./checkpoints_pointrtd/ and place your checkpoint file within this folder.
Fine-tuning on ModelNet10 or ModelNet40
Download ModelNet10 and ModelNet40 using instructions found in their respective READMEs.
Use the provided training notebook:
train_modelnet10_pointRTD.ipynb or train_modelnet40_pointRTD.ipynb
Make sure these are using the correct path for your desired pretrained model checkpoint file.
