These are the additional (to the facebase steps) steps taken to make the FaceBase automatic landmarking software work - https://www.facebase.org/resources/human/facial_landmarking/

Steps taken
Get_compute_many_Windowsgenerates a now defunct command usingmeshlabserver.exe. This executable has been deprecated since 2020. We need to use PyMeshlab library in python instead.- Use
compute_curvature.pyinstead. This utility generates the curvature of each object.objfile and converts it into a.plyfile withCinformation in it required by the landmarking method. Currently, if you open.objfile, you'll findV(vertices) andF(faces) information.
