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.
• Dream Textures for DreamStudio (Windows) - Cloud rendering with DreamStudio

AMD GPU

• Dream Textures for Windows (DirectML) - Local and cloud rendering with DirectML
• Dream Textures for DreamStudio (Windows) - Cloud rendering with DreamStudio

macOS

Apple Silicon (M1/M2)

• Dream Textures for Apple Silicon - Local and cloud rendering for Apple Silicon Macs
• Dream Textures for DreamStudio (Apple Silicon) - Cloud rendering with DreamStudio

Intel

• Dream Textures for DreamStudio (Intel) - Cloud rendering with DreamStudio

Note Local generation is not 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.

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

Automatic Seamless Detection

The axes the open image is seamless along is automatically detected for better upscaling and image to image results.

Batch Size Optimization

Increase the batch size for significantly faster generation of multiple iterations, file batch, or upscaling.

Automatic Projection Baking / Better UV handling

Enable the "Bake" option to project back onto the mesh's original UV map.

Dream Textures will now preserve your original UV map instead of overwriting it.

AMD Support via DirectML

All DirectX 12-capable GPUs are now compatible with Dream Textures! Download the directml version of the add-on if you have a non-NVIDIA GPU.

UI Improvements

Image names now include the prompt alongside the seed.

Many common issues are now caught before you ever press "Generate".

Size options are now disabled by default, and will use the model's preferred size.

This is Awesome! Thanks, just about to test!

Super excited

"Dream Textures will now preserve your original UV map instead of overwriting it."

While this is a neat feature to have, this is rather unintuitive at the moment IMO. By default there's always much retouching needed on the UVs and having the projection baked on the first attempt seems unproductive. Or I'm missing the point.

I really wish there was still an option for project from camera.

[carson-katri]

That’s still the default. But it creates a new UV map for the ones projected from the camera angle instead of updating the first UV map. It will only use that original UV map if you enable “Bake”
