Warning

A newer version is available. Download the latest release to get new features and bug fixes.

This update brings ControlNet, optimization, and nodes!

Choose Your Installation

Several versions are available. Find the one that will work for you.

Windows

NVIDIA GPU

  • Dream Textures for Windows (CUDA) - Local and cloud rendering with NVIDIA CUDA
    • Due to file size limits on GitHub, the add-on ZIP file is contained in a 7-Zip archive.
    • Install 7-Zip, right click on the downloaded dream_textures-windows-cuda.7z archive, select "7-Zip" > "Extract Here" to get the dream_textures-windows-cuda.zip file.
    • In Blender preferences open "Add-ons" > "Install...", then choose the dream_textures-windows-cuda.zip file.

AMD GPU

macOS

Apple Silicon (M1/M2)

Intel

Dream Textures is not currently available for Intel Macs.

Linux

Installation must be completed manually. Follow the instructions to install manually for more details.

Blender Market

You can optionally purchase it for a small fee on Blender Market.

The version on Blender Market is identical to the free download available here. It is simply a way to support my work on this tool.

Note DreamStudio builds will no longer be released. Please see the official Stability for Blender addon for DreamStudio integration.

Setup

After installing the appropriate add-on ZIP file, enable the add-on and expand its preferences. There you will find further instructions for setup.

See the setup guide for more detailed instructions.

What's New

ControlNet

ControlNet gives you a lot more control over image generation. It has been fully integrated into the new render engine, as well as in the Image Editor and texture projection panel.

Here are some things you can do with it.

  1. Turn a pose into an image
OpenPose.mov
  1. Colorize a Grease Pencil sketch
GreasePencil.mov
  1. Render a scene from a basic mesh
NormalMap.mov
  1. Improved texture projection fidelity, and image editing with ip2p
DepthProjection.mov

Optimizations

PyTorch 2.0 is now bundled with the release. This brings the new SDP attention which reduces memory and generates faster. This new optimization is enabled by default.

A new CFG End optimization is also included which can be used to disabled classifier-free guidance after a certain percentage of steps. This can be great for quick prototyping.

The optimization UI is also improved to provide a better overview of what each option does. The time each generation takes is now displayed below the "Generate" button.

Render Engine

A dedicated "Dream Textures" render engine is now available. It provides the node system and acts as an alternative to engines like Cycles or Eevee.

Learn more about the render engine and node system in the wiki.
