The Academic community is indebted to Grant Sanderson, the developers, and the community. People like you are taking it to the next level. I am beginner to Manimations and there were no beginner level tutorial like this in RUclips. This is an amazing content and I have learnt a lot. I request you to publish more tutorials like this. If you publish a Course on Manim in Udemy with step by step videos for beginners, it will be a huge success. Thank you very much for the efforts. Really appreciate it.
Thank you so much. I teach pumps at an engineering college, and had decided on Manim to make some nice illustrations on how centrifugal pumps behave in a system, when changing their speed. Good work - I think you have saved me at least 20 hours of work just with this one video :-)
That code didn't look right as he was writing it. I'm glad someone realized that "get_graph()" implies it is a getter, which shouldn't be plotting anything...
46:32 get_graph doesn't work anymore, it was removed. replace it with plot. this way: parab = plane.plot( lambda x : x**2, x_range = (-4,4) , color = GREEN)
for those curious, self is a convention used in Python to represent an instance of a class object and allows the programmer to access attributes of a class object. for example, if you pass (self, name) as arguments to a constructor method, you can set self.name = name to change the instantiated object's name to a given name.
man, I spent half of a year struggling to master the fundamentals of manim and yet I could have saved the time when this tutorial came out earlier :D. Thank you for your contribution for manim learners. By the way, your previous video about the animation of 3b1b helped me a lot, since although I can make simple animations with manim on my own now, my manim skills are still far away from making advanced animations comparable with the ones in 3b1b videos. I'm trying to advance my manim skills, but I can't find the suitable learn materials for it. Could you make more tutorials about advanced manim animations(with more loops and functions) just like the previous one? they will be very helpful and suitable learn materials after learning from your manim full course tutorial ;). Thanks for your contribution again, as a fresh manim learner, I really learned a lot from your tutorials!
Hey Gu. Yeah, I have more stuff like this (advanced tutorials) lined up for future uploads! I just wanted a good 'starting point' video for people picking up manim for the first time
Great overview of arguably the most attractive features of Manim that drive interest in learning it... Smooth animate moves of objects, rendering nicely formatted mathematical formulas (MathTex), drawing graphs on axes and smoothly animating points and tagent lines along graphed functions (always_redraw). Thank you.
A small correction. An Interpreter is not what you described. An interpreter runs the code without compiling it. What you are describing is called intellisense
Great work, keep it up! Appreciate the time and efforts in making this video. I am a Mathematics Educator and have been planning to learn Manim for a longtime now but couldn't. Finally, there is a one-stop video to give us a overall idea. Thanks, man!
Thank you very much sir. If possible, and you have the time, then please prepare one basic manual explaining the class, def, functions and other terminology that we struggle
There won't be any better way than learning from general beginner Python tutorials on RUclips, and/or an introductory Python textbook. You could smash all the Python intro content in a couple of days of coding :)
I appreciate it. In all honesty, I would look at the Python for Beginners on RUclips and try to create some classes of Mobjects yourself - as a learning exercise. I have personally never done so myself, as I have never needed to. But as for the terminology, it is all python jargon.
I have a question :) Which version(s) of Manim allow you to do the kind of interactive plot we see in Grand's video on the Newton's fractal (at 13:36: he drags and drop the complex roots of a polynomials - which in turn updates the shape of the fractal - ruclips.net/video/-RdOwhmqP5s/видео.html). And are you going to talk about it in one of your video? In my opinion, this is the next level in maths explanation. Videos and explainers are amazing, but the possibility to have 'students' interact with them open so many more doors :D In anyway, thank you so much for your work. It's really cool to contribute to spreading the knowledge and growing the math nerd community ;)
Hey mate, great question. Honestly, I wish I knew how he did this. I agree, I provide similar resources (ie desmos templates with sliders, geogebra etc). *I think* the version required for this is ManimGL, which is under serious construction right now from the developers. When they publish a stable version, I will be onto it.
Hello! 3B1B posts all code related to his videos on his github. Maybe you'll find your luck there. Keep in mind that code is intended to be used by 3B1B only!
Hey really great job!! Quick question: How do you get all the informations in 10:51? I dont have these neither I can choose "Go to Definition". I think this is really helpfull.
Thanks for the compliment mate! This information shows when you have a python interpreter installed with VSCode. These are all things that people in the manim discord helped me install! I couldn't code without it now
Great video. Why did you not force me to watch this before I wasted a week fumbling through manim. I have one question, "How can I make Bold Fractions, and place them at an exact location?". Can this even be done in Manim? The world need videos on how to do each thing. For example, how to "Create and Place Text", or How to create a place questions". I have some videos on my channel. They need manimization.
liked the tutorial. i just wanna know what extension you use for that pretty printed tracebacks. it looks clean. if its rich, which theme are u using? because ive been using rich and it doesnt show like that. thanks
It doesn't work for me, I am using the same example as you and I am getting ParseError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 1, column 0. Does anyone knows how to resolve this?
This was great, helped a lot, I personally dont have a real use case for manim, but I thought it might be helpful to animate graphs as a data analyst I guess, also I guess improve my coding skills. But I wonder for what real use cases people actually need this library for ?
I feel like Manim is basically LaTeX but for video! Use cases are: When you want to simply move stuff without needing keyframes and other editing magic. When you want to focus on the math, not on the editing program. When you need to make a mathematical RUclips channel. When you need to show your work but you don't have time to download a 2 giga byte editing app. It's just plain awesome that you can just combine the math and the editing into one step!
This is a really good question. I am a maths teacher, so I use it as a tool to visually explain hard concepts in a shorter amount of time than I would be whiteboarding my explanation. I see it as a tool for visualising abstract concepts (ie, some tough concepts to get your head around in maths, computer science, a particular branch of science etc).
Hi, I am using Visual Studio Code as well, but it seems to me that I don't have an interpreter installed? Any advice on what to do so that I can get the auto-filled code as with your 'Circle' example in the intro?
Very nice video, thanks! One simple question about VSCode, what shortcut do you use to quickly 'reformat' a single-line function call into multiple lines (like at 8:45)?
I wrote the code at 41:37 got error: AttributeError: 'float' object has no attribute 'init_scene' couldn't find it online. Does anyone have any idea why?
I had the same Error, and it was because i named my class *ValueTracker* instead of *ValueTrackers* like in the Video. And then it tries to create an instance of your class ValueTracker, instead of the one from manim. Try changing that name of the class, if that's the case
Thank you so much! What command/button are you typing that is reformatting your code? (E.g. sometimes it will split things up on new lines based on commas / parentheses etc
I don't know what's going on but if I write exactly the same code as brian at 42:51 I get the error TypeError: DecimalNumber.set_value() missing 1 required positional argument: 'number' which doesn't make any sense cause I literally am passing a number to it.
Hello! I have a problem with the graph part. When I run the program it gives back TypeError: getter() got an unexpected keyword argument 'x_range', and if I put anything else in the get_graph part, for example 'color', then that does not work as well. I couldnt find anything about this type of error. Btw I really loved your tutorial, I found it really easy to understand and follow it.
I'd suggest learning the very basics of python (if statements, for loops, while loops, creating functions, inheriting properties). Once you know this, you can read the manim library and just try to create an animation (doesnt have to be complex, basic is better to start). The discord community is great for answering specifics/debugging a code
Good question. You would need to configure this in the manim library, since when you call `numberplane`, the lines are defined as `Line` rather than `DashedLine`. But it is possible to do so
@@BrianAmedee Idk, for python, when I started learning, I didn't go to forums when the red message was writing that there was "Division by Zero" at line 20. There is a difference between being gentle to beginners and encouraging them to become assisted. It would have taken you just as much time to say "when there is an error it tells you both where it has an error and type of error. If you can't figure out from there then go ask to a forum or discord"
5:54 If you use a language code, like "py", it will actually correctly color the chunk of code according to Python
