Installation

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 .dylibs and .sos to load without having to manually allow each one in System Preferences.

If you want a visual guide to installation, see this video tutorial from Ashlee Martino-Tarr: https://youtu.be/kEcr8cNmqZk

Ensure you always install the latest version of the add-on if any guides become out of date.

Troubleshooting

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.
