Hugo Tini‘s DeepBump – positively geriatric by the standards of AI art tools, having been available since 2020 – uses its own machine learning model to generate normal and height maps from the colour textures.ĭT2DB Bridge connects the two, packaging the connection in a streamlined UI that automatically suggests suitable text prompts, and ‘beautify tags’ that can be appended to improve the quality of the results.

Released late last year, Carson Katri‘s Dream Textures uses Stability AI‘s Stable Diffusion AI model to generate seamlessly tiling colour textures inside Blender from simple text prompts like ‘wood’ or ‘leather’. Together, the three add-ons make it possible to “create realistic PBR materials using AI in one click”.Ĭreate PBR materials for free inside Blender with DreamTextures, DT2DB Bridge and DeepBumpĭT2DB Bridge links two other new-ish free AI-powered Blender add-ons, Dream Textures and DeepBump. The new add-on connects two existing free tools: Carson Katri’s Dream Textures, which generates diffuse textures, and Hugo Tini’s DeepBump, which generates normal and height maps from those images. Plugin developer Amandeep ( Aman Bairwal) has released DT2DB Bridge, an interesting free tool that can be used to generate PBR materials inside Blender using the Stable Diffusion AI model.
