SHANGHAI — One-year-old Chinese startup Miguo AI is planning to release 100 comic and cartoon titles this year, using artificial intelligence to create images faster and more cheaply.
Shanghai-based Miguo has developed an “image-to-image” generator that can take rough sketches by artists and add color, shading and other effects. Adding shadows to one frame of a comic, for example, takes 20 minutes by hand, but just 10 seconds with Miguo’s software.
