What it does
Dream Textures is an add-on for Blender, the free 3D program. Type a text description and it creates textures, concept art or background images with the Stable Diffusion AI model.
It can make textures that tile seamlessly, paint whole 3D scenes using depth, restyle animations, fill in or extend images, and upscale results.
The models run on your own computer; the README recommends a graphics card with over 4 GB of memory, and mentions a cloud option for unsupported hardware.
