Seamless Illustration Creation and Live Streaming! New Illustration App for Creators, "iLMiNA," Announced

PGN Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Koji Fukuda) is planning to release "iLMiNA," an illustration and live-streaming app for creators that allows users to complete everything from illustration production to live broadcasting within a single application.

iLMiNA is an app that allows creators to focus on their work in a production environment free from advertisements and functional restrictions during the creative process. In addition to advanced drawing features and performance, it is equipped with a function to stream the production process via YouTube Live. It proposes a new style of creative expression that combines creation, editing, and live streaming.

Prior to the official release, we plan to conduct a beta test for iLMiNA. This will provide an opportunity to be among the first to enjoy this new creative experience. Details will be announced sequentially on the official iLMiNA website (https://ilmina.net/ja/) and the official YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@ilmina_app), both of which were launched today. Please subscribe to the channel and stay tuned for further updates.

Additionally, we have released a teaser video for iLMiNA today. These videos were produced in collaboration with VTuber Emo Egaki (affiliated with our company) and multi-creator Mizzy Licias, respectively.

<Main Features of iLMiNA>

Ad-free, Unrestricted Drawing Environment We provide a production environment where creators can focus on their work without any ad displays or ad-based restrictions on drawing functions. Basic features are available for free, allowing you to work on your creations as much as you like.

Live Streaming Equipped with a live streaming function linked to YouTube. You can live stream various situations, such as your drawing process or handwritten tutorials. We plan to add support for other streaming platforms beyond YouTube in the future.

Full-scale Digital Illustration Production Equipped with production features equivalent to PC paint software, such as layer functions, a wide variety of brushes, and color panels, providing a professional mobile creative environment.

Includes a Variety of Filters Includes a wide range of filters such as color correction, level correction, negative/positive, monochrome, Gaussian blur, lens blur, bloom effect, fisheye lens, chromatic aberration, grain, speed lines, mosaic, and line art extraction. Furthermore, it adopts MFG (Modern Filter Language for GPU), a new filter language for GPUs. This realizes high-speed and expressive filter processing, expanding the possibilities of a creator's illustrative expression. Filters will be added sequentially. - About MFG: https://modernfilterlanguageforgpu.org/ja/
