[16 July 2025] Version 2.0 - UE5.4+ - The AI & Workflow Update

Version 2.0 is a complete overhaul of the Texture Tools plugin, introducing powerful new generative AI capabilities and a redesigned, non-destructive workflow to dramatically enhance your productivity.

Major New Features:

• New Job: AI Generation (ComfyUI Integration)

  • Harness the full power of Stable Diffusion directly within the Unreal Editor.

  • Supports Text-to-Image, Image-to-Image, Inpainting, and ControlNet workflows.

  • Automatically manages the ComfyUI backend process.

  • Live progress updates are streamed directly into the UI.

• Complete UI & Workflow Overhaul

  • Job Queue System: The entire tool is now built around a multi-job processing queue. Add, delete, and reorder jobs to create complex, non-destructive texturing pipelines.

  • Batch Processing: Run the entire job queue as a single batch operation.

  • New Three-Panel Layout: The UI has been redesigned with dedicated panels for Viewports, the Job List, and a context-sensitive Details panel for a more intuitive workflow.

• Advanced Viewport & Previewing

  • 3D PBR Material Viewer: A new viewport mode allows you to preview your generated materials on standard 3D meshes (Sphere, Cube, etc.) in a fully lit environment.

  • Interactive Inpainting Canvas: A new "Draw Mask" view mode provides a full-featured canvas for painting inpainting masks directly onto your input textures, with controls for brush type, size, and feathering.

  • Enhanced 2D Viewer: The 2D texture viewer now includes pan/zoom, tiling preview, and individual RGBA channel isolation.

• Workflow Enhancements

  • Preset System: Save and load entire job configurations, including all AI and procedural settings, as a UDataAsset.

  • Content Browser Integration: Right-click on any Texture2D and use the "Send to Texture Tools" context menu to instantly create a new job with that texture as the input.
