Regarding MP3D 'scene_assets'

[Akash-14321234]

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your work.

The current instructions on downloading MP3D Scene-assets seem to be unclear. The hyperlink just redirects to the Matterport3D dataset homepage.

At best, I was only able to get mp3D_example_scene using dataset_downloads.py in 'Habitat_sim/utils' in my rosxhab Conda environment.

Could you please elaborate on how to acquire the 'scene-assets'?

Thanks!

Hey @Akash-1410 I've updated the MP3D dataset download instructions in the readme.

We used more than the example scenes provided by Habitat Sim: as suggested on their website, to download the full MP3D dataset we filled the form, sent them an email, and they emailed us back with a script that allowed us to download the entire dataset.

Hello,

Thanks for the quick response and for updating the Readme.

If I understand correctly, the '.glb' files can be downloaded using: python2 download_mp.py -o /path/to/your/directory --task habitat

This is a much smaller file (~16 GB) than the entire dataset (1.3 TB). If this is correct, could you please further update the Readme to reflect the same?

Feel free to close the issue if there is nothing else to add.

Thanks!

Yes you're correct. We used only the Habitat subset.
