Texture Synthesis Addon - Blender 2.8
Links and more info available on: https://blender-addons.org/texture-sy...
The Texture Synthesis Addon by Jose Conseco provides us an interface to access the Texture Synthesis Software from within Blender. The texture Synthesis is described as: a non-parametric example-based algorithm for image generation.
What can we do with it? Here a few examples;
Generate a variation of an image
Make an image seamless
Provide a few examples of clouds, grass etc and Texture Synthesis makes a variation of it.
Inpaint. That is to fill in missing parts.
Use guides (masks) to generate variations. For example if you want to have two doors instead of one.
Style transfer. For example project a face in coffee-beans. It's a little bit more than just multiply or overlay.
