#manim — Public Fediverse posts

Using #Manim for the first time to prepare for a talk on #MCTS at the #RoguelikeCelebration2026.

I think I like the tool - this is a pretty strong way to demonstrate an algorithm while talking to it

First video on my new #animation channel :) This is a very short portfolio video, where I briefly talk about a particular animation I made for someone else, show it, and show what it looked like in the resulting video.
This particular animation is about magnetic fields and was made for Lost in Tech.
Everything was done in Olive 0.2, Friction2D, Manim, and Inkscape and Gimp.

@triffen off topic, but I've been assuming #friction2d was a physics engine. Now I see it's an vector animation thing.

How does it compare with #synfig or #manim?

🎉✨ Great news, folks! Some brave soul has single-handedly re-invented the wheel by porting #Manim to #TypeScript — because who doesn't want their mathematical animations tangled in more #JavaScript spaghetti? 🍝😅 Now you can enjoy your #3b1B content with all the glitchy charm of a browser experience! 🚀🤦‍♂️

I asked an AI (please forgive me, but it did actually save me a lot of time researching), what the largest #Discord communities are, for #OpenSource projects.

I generally dislike AI, but dislike Discord even worse, BTW.

I figured it might be realistic to appeal to these communities' sense of OpenSource values (taking advantage of recent controversy, and shift in sentiment against Discord), to migrate to, say, a #Flarum forum (or #XMPP, etc) instead:

Top 20 Open Source Projects on Discord (by Members)

| 2 | #OBS Community | 244,000 | Open source streaming/recording software |
| 3 | #Reactiflux | 222,000 | #React, Redux, GraphQL community |
| 4 | #HomeAssistant | 126,000 | Open source home automation platform |

Key observations:

- RPCS3 (PS3 #emulator) is the largest with nearly half a million members
- OBS Studio is the largest productivity/tool open source project
- Game emulators and game engines have massive communities
- #JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (React, Vue, NestJS) have very active communities
- Home automation (Home Assistant) has a huge community due to DIY enthusiast adoption

Note: These numbers fluctuate constantly as members join and leave. Data gathered from Discord server listings in early 2025.

ИИ (Генеративное) видео без галлюцинаций: пишем CLI-конвейер на Python (Qwen + Manim)

ИИ видео не подходят для инженерных задач, так как работают с пикселями и часто «галлюцинируют», искажая математическую логику и текст. Решение проблемы — разделить процесс: LLM должна генерировать не видео, а код (инструкции), а исполнять его должен детерминированный движок (библиотека Manim). Чтобы исключить программные ошибки, применяется цикл Self-Correction: скрипт автоматически скармливает трейсбэки обратно нейросети, заставляя её исправлять код до тех пор, пока он не скомпилируется в математически точную анимацию.

Decomposition of the exponential function as the sum:
x⁰/0! + x¹/1! + x²/2! + x³/3! + ...

* On the left, low-order terms are at the bottom.
* On the right, low-order terms are at the top.

Same color in both pictures corresponds to the same monomial.

Crazy how different the two pictures look, even though they represent the same decomposition!

Python вместо After Effects: пишем видео на Manim

Зачем двигать ползунки мышкой, если вы знаете Python? В статье разбираем Manim — библиотеку, с помощью которой создаются видео на канале 3Blue1Brown. Установка, отличие версий, рендеринг LaTeX-формул и код для вашей первой процедурной анимации. Превращаем скрипты в MP4 без единого кейфрейма.

[Перевод] Manim: как создавать математические анимации в стиле 3Blue1Brown с помощью Python

Команда Python for Devs подготовила перевод статьи о Manim — Python-инструменте для создания наглядных математических анимаций в стиле 3Blue1Brown. Разбираемся, как с помощью кода визуализировать уравнения, графики и абстрактные идеи так, чтобы они были понятны коллегам, менеджерам и студентам.

I had a thought, why not make this chart of bouncing heights (of sample balls printed in different flexible filaments) with actual round objects dropping and bouncing back? So I've made it ;)
#manim CE and nothing else.
Looks even better in the video it's intended for, with narration and explanatory arrows: https://youtu.be/NlcXz0bmvq8

Yesterday I heard about #manim (https://manim.community) for the first time and wanted to give it a try.
```
from manim import *
class logo_animation(Scene):
def construct(self):
m = SVGMobject("mastodon.svg")
self.play(Write(m))
self.wait(2)
```
and the result is pretty nice for a few lines of code.
Really considering to keep it (not only for svg drawings) in my tool suite.

The process of changing tools in a toolchanger 3d printer Snapmaker U1, made by me for this video by Lost in Tech: https://youtu.be/q-8es8uAlcc
While I do want to eventually render such scenes in Blender, this is the 3rd 3d project in #Manim I've done. Not being able to load any 3d models is a big limitation, but anything that I can build from available primitives, not unlike in Minecraft, I can then manipulate, animate, move the camera around, and overall have fun with.
This scene has 'prisms' (parallelepipeds), cubes, cylinders, a few 2d circles, and one svg I drew in #Inkscape

[Перевод] Андрей Карпатый: Swift? Не слышал! Как я iOS-приложение на чистом «пожалуйста» написал

Что если создать мобильное приложение, не зная ни строчки кода на Swift? Добро пожаловать в мир вайбкодинга — нового стиля программирования «по настроению», где естественный язык и LLM заменяют синтаксис и компиляторы. Во второй части выступления Андрея Карпатого мы также поговорим о новом типе «пользователей» — LLM‑агентах («духах людей») и о том, как адаптировать нашу инфраструктуру (документацию, API, сайты) для их удобства с помощью... llms.txt . Готовы ли вы кодить «в потоке» и строить для нечеловеческих интеллектов?

When I first started with #Manim 2.5y ago, I had a task of transforming one SVG into another, to show how an original sewing pattern changed after alteration applied.
It was a long-standing task, originally tried in Synfig (but I had to import both, and change the path inside Synfig, as it wouldn't transform one imported file into another). I don't remember if I tried it in enve, as I switched to it later.
I never succeeded with Manim back then. I had bizarre problems: scattered nodes joined with random lines.
I moved on, and my current Manim phase (started last June) was driven by a totally different task, and much more active, and I was able to learn effectively by pestering a now existing AI with questions, just like I never could with textbooks, documentation, and absent teachers.
Nevertheless, it's now been almost a year, and I've completed many animations, worked with both raster and vector, and even with 3d which is honestly a stretch for Manim.
Today a memory of back-then-me, struggling, floated to the surface, and I got puzzled by what those problems could have been. A spoiler: I still don't know. But I opened Inkscape, freehanded a pattern-like shape, changed the shape of its copy, exported both as separate files, and wrote 7 lines of code. Just like that.
