Download the latest release and follow the instructions there to get up and running.
On macOS, it is possible you will run into a quarantine issue with the dependencies. To work around this, run the following command in the app
Terminal
:xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/Application\ Support/Blender/3.3/scripts/addons/dream_textures/.python_dependencies
. This will allow the PyTorch.dylib
s and.so
s to load without having to manually allow each one in System Preferences.

Dream Textures has been tested with CUDA and Apple Silicon GPUs. Over 4GB of VRAM is recommended.
If you have an issue with a supported GPU, please create an issue.
If your hardware is unsupported, you can use DreamStudio to process in the cloud. Follow the instructions in the release notes to setup with DreamStudio.
For detailed instructions on installing from source, see the guide on setting up a development environment.
If you are experiencing trouble getting Dream Textures running, check Blender's system console (in the top left under the "Window" dropdown next to "File" and "Edit") for any error messages. Then search in the issues list with your error message and symptoms.
Note On macOS there is no option to open the system console. Instead, you can get logs by opening the app Terminal, entering the command
/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender
and pressing the Enter key. This will launch Blender and any error messages will show up in the Terminal app.
