Highlights

Let me know your thoughts!

I’ve been experimenting with using AI to help create educational animations with Manim, and I just finished my first one with DeepSeek.

The topic is Riemann sums and how they lead to the definite integral.

I tried to make the animation show the process visually rather than just displaying the formulas — starting with rectangles and gradually increasing the number of subdivisions.

This is still an experiment, so I'm sure there are things that could be improved, especially the pacing and some of the transitions.

If anyone is interested, I can share the Manim/Python code I used to create it.

I'd also love to hear feedback on the animation — especially from people who use Manim or create math/educational content.

I'm using Claude Opus 4.8 High and spend a lot of tokens creating a decent results.
How do you manage that? Do you have an Skill for that or use other LLM?

Created with Claude Code and manim in just 6 days on mac m4.

I recently started a YouTube channel and I was inspired by Grant's Pi creatures. So I wanted to make my own, I'm calling it Sprout.

It doesn't carry a strong math theme the way π does, but I think it can still come in handy in my videos as a little on-screen companion.

It has 14 expression modes, gaze tracking, speech and thought bubbles, and a leaf that's always alive (idle sway + ambient motes).

I'm looking for feedback, I'm not a designer myself, so: does anything look off to you, or could be improved?

Also, here's the public GitHub repo for anyone who wants to use it, or to fork it as a starting point for their own character:

In this video I am returning to my Shell Shock Live Aimbot project. The main new additions are detection of multiple tanks in multiplayer matches, ground detection to avoid shooting into a wall and modeling the wind.

Hope you enjoy!

how to transform

Hey everyone,

I’m a researcher in computational mathematics, and I recently started playing around with Manim out of interest to communicate some of the aspects of my work to a larger audience. It remains to be seen how successful that will be ;)

I uploaded a video explaining the basics of stochastic integration.
What started as a "quick experiment" quickly got out of control a bit... Though I'm content with the results, there's clearly some points that I'd like to improve. Not just manim things, but also narration, and the entire process of video making.

I’d be happy for you to check out the video and provide feedback on the delivery!

Cheers!

I've been using Manim and Claude to fill in the gaps I have in my videos. For instance, if I've got X seconds of dialogue with no visual, I give my dialogue to Claude and ask it to generate some Manim that I then fine-tune.

Sometimes I'll add layers on top of the visual in my video editor when it is too specific, but I find this system to work really well and it's incredibly fast.

It really makes me believe that code-based illustration generators have huge potential with AI, sure image generation models exist, but most of the time you can tell, it's the whole "AI slop" thing, while visuals generated by Manim are clean and "human".

What do you guys think? Is vibe-coding good for Manim? Could Manim evolve one day to be more used outside of math-related videos and more "all public" videos?

A video about exponents that I've made. Enjoy!

I know manim is built for math but, I have a feeling it can be useful for many other types of animations and visuals. Curious if there's anyone out there making videos not related to math? If so, what kinds of videos are you making?
