Creating Background Images
Photo Background Transformation AI + Coloring AI
By using the photo background transformation function, you can easily create background materials suitable for illustrations or manga from landscape photos with AI. It allows you to maintain the composition and atmosphere of the photo while expressing backgrounds that match the style of your work. Additionally, applying the coloring function to the generated background achieves a cohesive finish.
Creating Materials from 3D Models
Inking AI + Coloring AI
You can generate illustrations from 3D models, efficiently creating designs for character accessories. By converting models created with 3D CG software like VRoid into 2D illustrations, it enhances the versatility of character design and aids in multifaceted considerations for work development. Furthermore, combining the generated illustrations with the coloring function can lead to a highly complete finish.
Enhancing Existing Works
Coloring AI
Coloring monochrome rough sketches, image sketches, or line art can save time. It is particularly effective when remastering past works or during the color expansion of digitization. Even works previously published in monochrome can be easily colorized for broader distribution.
Reducing Workload in Production Settings
Inking AI
The inking function significantly improves drawing production speed. AI enhances line art quality and reduces the workload of corrections, allowing more time to be allocated to main production and drawing instructions. Additionally, it effectively reduces human inconsistencies in drawing uniformity.
