This requires a dual skills; ability to educate an idea well (not easy), and ability to code/edit a video. We appreciate all who can do this!

This is a great tip. I onece made an uni presentation. Which ended up being more of a presentation in manim was cumbersome. Mainly use manim for computational animations is the best way to use it.

Awesome. This seems like a great place to further expand my learning of python and mathematics. I’ve been looking for a more creative project for combining the two. Thrilled that this is open source and can’t wait to give it a try. Cheers!

I'm surprised how flexible and easy to use manim is, especially if you tried to code some of it's abilities from scratch. What an awesome person Grant is to make this tool available to anyone as open source.

@@StarFury2 thanks for reply I started learning python for manim mainly. I want to create some basic equation animation only by manim. Can you tell me how long will it take me to get their or i need to learn any other things like latex?

@StarFury2 Жыл бұрын

@@yashnarvariya4725 It depends on your motivation and time invested. I started learning python 1 year ago for similar reasons - making physics animations and apps for my classes. After a month or two, you could get comfortable working with python basics and start making some manims of your own. OOP stuff will take more time to click in. Latex is a huge typsetting framework, but for manim you only need simple math commands. Don't expect fast production of manim animations though. A good few minutes long animation can take days of work to complete. However, if you are a teacher like me, or a student or an academic, learning python and latex is great investment in a long run.

@yashnarvariya4725 Жыл бұрын

@@StarFury2 your advice means a lot to me.currently I am in my second year of undergraduate course in engineering, I like to teach physics that's why I though manim would be useful thing.but from your advice it looks a big task cause I have college assignment and all. But still I wouldn't lose hope on manim but do you recommend any other better alternative whose learning curve is not so steep and I can do some base typewriting animation effect in it as well

I've just started experimenting with manim. Not because geogebra is bad, but it's different and sometimes ... actually many times, it's advantage to have option to multiply coordinates of 8 points by matrix at once. There were cases where I even wrote a code in C++ generating series of SVG images or gnuplot graphs and then doing batch conversion to PNG. Not for educational purposes, but for debugging of some computer graphics (geometry) or image processing related algorithms. But now I want to do some presentation and adding math in TeX is useful.

@DisDatK9 Жыл бұрын

Getting it to successfully run from CMD (which is the only means to do it I’m pretty sure,) definitely took me a bit. I also am not the biggest fan of having to process in high quality to ensure there aren’t any weird visual bugs which automatically save to a folder, so inevitably I end up having to constantly delete the huge amount of data that my attempts are saved as. I couldn’t find anything in the functionality to quickly delete the work-in-progress videos, and I wish I had the knowledge to be able to make it.
