DeepBump VS stable-diffusion

I stumbled upon this repository and want to try to improve the results. But i would need thousands of good pairs and downloading a a dozen packs here and there and drawing normal myself won't cut it.

If you already have Photoshop, you can also generate a depth map in there by using the Depth Blur neural filter and enabling "output depth map only". But there are also lots of other free tools for creating depth maps, some of which you can use within Blender, like https://github.com/HugoTini/DeepBump

Workflow: Stable diffusion base model works best in my experience. Use the prompt "____ texture". Once you find an image you are happy with, import it into Blender. Install the Deepbump addon: https://github.com/HugoTini/DeepBump. Go to shader view, add your texture to the color tab of the principled BSDF, and open up the menu on the side of the node graph with "n". Open the deepbump tab and click "generate normal map". Once that is completed, select the new image node and click "generate height map". Connect that up to the displacement node and the material output, and make sure you are using cycles. In the material properties panel, choose settings->surface->displacement "displacement only". You may need to subdivide your mesh.

Yes, you can install it with Python! https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion works with macOS, and you can control all the common parameter via their WebUI or CLI :)

I'm using lstein fork ("dream") and when I create an image from the terminal, it also writes back to the terminal like this:

> Whenever I ask for something like ‘seamless tiling xxxxxx’ it kinda sorta gets the idea, but the resulting texture doesn’t quite tile right.

Getting seamless tiling requires more than just have "seamless tiling" in the prompt. It also depends on if the fork you're using has that feature at all.

https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion has the feature, but you need to pass it outside the prompt. So if you use the `dream.py` prompt cli, you can pass it `"Hats on the ground" --seamless` and it should be perfectly tilable.

Stable Diffusion Dream Script: This is the original site/script for supporting macOS. I found this soon after Stable Diffusion was publicly released and it was the site which inspired me to try out using Stable Diffusion on a mac. They have a web-based UI (as well as command-line scripts) and a lot of documentation on how to get things working.

I’m pretty sure it works for M2 as well - basically the newer ARM-based Macs. The instructions to get it working are detailed! https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion
