Greetings, commander! Reinforcements have arrived from Dream Textures as Dream Textures v0.3.0 has been recently released by their team. For those unfamiliar with it, Dream Textures is a plugin for Blender that uses AI Generative Adversarial Networks to generate realistic-looking concept art, background assets, and more for Blender from a simple text prompt. It allows you to create textures that tile perfectly with no visible seam by using the 'Seamless' option. You can also use it to create quick variations on an existing texture. It requires GPUs with a massive amount of RAM to generate big textures (about 12GB or higher for 512x512 textures). Here are the changes and the fun stuff from Dream Textures v0.3.0:

.safetensors and .ckpt file support

Public Backend API
A new API is available for extending Dream Textures. This can be used to add custom generation backends.
For example, a backend that connects to ComfyUI could be created as a standalone addon.
Dream Textures has built-in support for a HuggingFace Diffusers backend. If you are interested in contributing a new backend, this backend can be used as a reference.
Dream Textures backend addons are kept in the community_backends folder. If you make a useful backend, feel free to open a PR adding it to this folder.
