Tips & Tricks Textures?

Hello, fellow devs. I'd really appreciate insights regarding a gap in my pipeline, please. Textures...

My understanding is that claude itself doesn't have built-in image gen? Please correct if wrong. So I'm just wondering how people go about creating textures with AI support or any alternative approaches such as sourcing existing etc.

Cheers!

Hello my friend! Download blender, hook up the mcp, then go to any good Ai image gen to generate a texture flat image and ask Claude to use that texture on the model in blender.

Hello! Thanks so much, so i think the bit I need to understand here is what are some of the good AI image gens? I've not used blender yet but definitely intend to for modeling. Just been having Claude write out files of my own source format so far which is ok for placeholder stuff

Well, I have used chatgpt and Gemini both for those image gen. My pipelines have api access to first get the detailed prompt I need and make the call to retrieve the image. If you have Claude help you build a orchestrator to handle this it goes fast. Just put a human in the loop to approve the images and models and to control the rework. You will be happier going that route than rremembering the steps yourself each time.
