What's New

ControlNet

ControlNet gives you a lot more control over image generation. It has been fully integrated into the new render engine, as well as in the Image Editor and texture projection panel.

Here are some things you can do with it.

1. Turn a pose into an image

2. Colorize a Grease Pencil sketch

3. Render a scene from a basic mesh

4. Improved texture projection fidelity, and image editing with ip2p

Optimizations

PyTorch 2.0 is now bundled with the release. This brings the new SDP attention which reduces memory and generates faster. This new optimization is enabled by default.

A new CFG End optimization is also included which can be used to disabled classifier-free guidance after a certain percentage of steps. This can be great for quick prototyping.

The optimization UI is also improved to provide a better overview of what each option does. The time each generation takes is now displayed below the "Generate" button.

Render Engine

A dedicated "Dream Textures" render engine is now available. It provides the node system and acts as an alternative to engines like Cycles or Eevee.

Learn more about the render engine and node system in the wiki.
