About Textures
Dream Textures is an open-source Blender add-on that integrates Stable Diffusion image generation directly into the Blender environment. It lets users create textures, concept art, background assets, and other images via text prompts, with features including seamless tiling, scene-wide texture projection using depth-to-image, inpainting and outpainting for existing images, AI upscaling, and integration with Blender's render pass system for animation re-styling. It can run AI models locally on supported hardware, or use DreamStudio cloud processing for unsupported systems, and is compatible with CUDA and Apple Silicon GPUs, with over 4GB of VRAM recommended for optimal performance.
