I found myself wanting to use TRELLIS on a platform with lower compute capabilities. So I added a flask server and client to my fork of the repo.
This way, I can launch the flask server on our institutional cluster, and I can open a tunnel from my machine to the cluster. I can then use the flask client to stream images to the flask server, and obtain GLB files and video renders from it.
This might be useful for people looking to obtain meshes using a command line interface (using POST/GET requests) from weaker hardware.
Note: most of this PR was generated by an LLM, and I just tuned and fixed bugs I found. I don't guarantee this is 100% bug-free, but I found that I can easily generate GLBs using the client, both from single and from multiple images.
