Overview
Dream Textures is a Blender add-on that runs Stable Diffusion locally to generate textures, concept art and background assets from text prompts. It adds tileable texture output, depth-to-image texture projection onto scenes, inpaint/outpaint, 4x upscaling, and a render-engine node system for re-styling animations. Tested on CUDA and Apple Silicon GPUs; DreamStudio is available as a cloud fallback.
Who it is for: Blender artists who want local Stable Diffusion textures and image generation
