Carpenstreet Inc. has launched ABLUR, a 3D background drawing software for manga, offering a 4-week online course titled 'ABLUR Manga Time-Saving School' on June 4, 2026, aimed at manga artists seeking to reduce background work time and improve quality. Enrollment is currently open.

"I spend too much time on backgrounds." "I want to use 3D assets, but I don’t know how to blend them naturally into my manuscripts." "I want to improve drawing efficiency, but I’m intimidated by 3D tools."

The 'ABLUR Manga Time-Saving School' is an online learning program designed for creators facing these challenges, offering hands-on training in naturally applying 3D backgrounds to manga manuscripts.

Curriculum Designed for Those New to 3D, Immediately Applicable to Manga Production

This school offers a step-by-step curriculum covering ABLUR basics, integration with CLIP STUDIO PAINT, line art adjustment, tone processing, and natural manuscript finishing.

Students will watch weekly lectures and create 4-panel comics to experience the process of applying 3D backgrounds to manuscripts. The course emphasizes understanding background creation and 3D utilization over character or dialogue quality, making it accessible even for those who struggle with backgrounds.

Key Features of the Course

Hands-on Learning of 3D Background Application for Manga Manuscripts

Load 3D assets into ABLUR, adjust camera angles, and export as line art or images. Then learn how to seamlessly integrate them into manuscripts using CLIP STUDIO PAINT, following real-world production workflows.

From "Knowing" to "Mastering" Through Weekly Assignments

After each weekly lecture, students complete 4-panel comic assignments applying what they’ve learned. The course is designed so students don’t just watch lectures—they actively practice and internalize 3D background techniques.

Five Active Creators Serve as Weekly Mentors

Five active creators with expertise in manga production and 3D asset usage will serve as mentors. Each mentor will share practical know-how applicable to real manuscript creation, aligned with weekly themes.

Mentor Introductions

Mentors and their main lecture topics are as follows:

Week 1｜Asami Sakuraba

"Starting a new Chinese fantasy series in June 2026, I only had ACON’s SKP files for backgrounds, so I began using ABLUR. The interface is simple and intuitive—I’ve found it incredibly helpful."

Week 2｜Junko Tamura

"I’m self-taught, so my approach might be quite original. I’d be happy if others could see how even distributed assets can be used to create unique worlds."

Week 3｜Kuron

"While experimenting with ways to draw backgrounds faster and better, I discovered SketchUp assets and ABLUR. At first, I was摸索 (fumbling), but now it’s an indispensable part of my manga production. I’d be glad to help others take their first step into 3D."

Week 4｜Botan Hanakasumi

"Today’s manga demands high quality, rich visuals, and fast drawing speeds—especially in densely illustrated isekai fantasy works. ACON’s beautiful 2D decorations and SketchUp’s 3D models are reliable allies. ABLUR, which allows intuitive handling of SketchUp 3D, will be a great partner for manga artists."

Reducing Background Workload to Focus on Creation

In manga production, backgrounds are a crucial element that supports the world-building of a story. However, they often require significant time for perspective, composition, and detailed drawing, becoming a major burden in the overall production process.

ABLUR is software that supports background work in manga and illustration by leveraging 3D assets. The newly launched 'ABLUR Manga Time-Saving School' focuses not only on learning software functions but also on mastering the practical application of 3D backgrounds into real manga manuscripts.

We aim to make 3D not a "difficult tool" but a "helpful option" for creators. This school strives to provide more artists with an environment where they can reduce the burden of background work and focus more on their creative process.

About ABLUR

ABLUR is 3D background support software designed to assist in manga and illustration production. By importing 3D assets, adjusting camera angles, and generating line art, it supports the creation of backgrounds that are easy to use in manga manuscripts.
