About Manim

Manim is an animation engine for explanatory math videos. You can use it to make math videos (or other fields) like 3Blue1Brown.

There are mainly two versions here:

• 3b1b/manim : Maintained by Grant Sanderson of 3Blue1Brown.

Using OpenGL and its GLSL language to use GPU for rendering. It has higher efficiency, faster rendering speed, and supports real-time rendering and interaction.

• ManimCommunity/manim : Maintained by Manim Community Dev Team.

Using multiple backend rendering. There is better documentation and a more open contribution community.

About this documentation
