By the way, do you know where I can find some complete Manim examples to learn from? I've just started learning recently, and I've read through the documentation on the community website, and I've basically tried running all the examples. Right now, I'm a bit confused about how to approach Manim from a holistic perspective.
Thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately that's not really enough information for me to know what is going wrong -- and YT comments are not ideal to start debugging this problem. Take a look at this page in our documentation: docs.manim.community/en/stable/faq/help.html, it has a few suggestions for places where you can get help. 👍
There has been some discussion about it recently, the inherent design (everything is 3D) makes it somewhat complicated to implement blending modes easily.
Indeed! Currently we don't have a shorthand version for it -- the call would roughly be equivalent to ManimColor.from_hsv((j/n, 1., 1.)). Hope this helps!
Good job! Given that you touched colours, I have a provoking thought: what about adding blending modes in the future? As first glance the VMObject class shall be modified such that it takes an additional parameter "blendind_mode=" that can take values in an enum {normal (default), add, multiply, screen, ...}. Blending modes explained: ruclips.net/video/EOoMakEVh_s/видео.html
Thanks for the kind words! Blending modes are an interesting idea for sure. Probably not something for the immediate future (we still need to clean up the general rendering loop before we add more features in), but I don't see why we wouldn't want to add some sort of blending modes after that has stabilized.
@@behackl Regretfully, one person decided for all the community to close the issue, along with other issues that I opened recently and that had, IMHO, very valid points. A higher level question arise then: what is Manim vision and mission? Is the aim to provide a comprehensible and solid professional tool or the aim is to be a students playground to learn coding (which is not bad but I would like to know)? Also, what is the governance? Are there special persons who are allowed to take decisions on behalf of the whole community? I think these are important questions that need to be answered as they heavily influence GO/NOT GO decisions for the utilization of one tool wrt to another (other than suggesting/discouraging its utlilization in your own network - colleagues, students, etc.).
One issue has been closed by mistake. I have moved the color blending suggestion to a discussion, because there are too many unclear things about it yet, it is not actionable as is. You can check our code of conduct for details about the project's governance. Feel free to reach out via Discord if I've missed anything else.
Nice recap, thank you for your work!
Thank you for the excellent work 🙏
Very nice! I love the new colors *wink wink* xD
well, I mean, pat yourself on the back! 😆
We need manim tutorial about electrical circuits diagrams
thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks Ben, Much appreciated!
Thank you for your work! This is really great!

Thank you !
Awesome work! Love this!
A little bit late, but awesome job with the recap!
Amazing work!
Hey, I like your tutorials. Do you know why the ".add_coordinates" command is not working with axes on my MANIM version?

Okay I solved the problem, but still thank you. :)@@behackl
Hey there! Are there different blend modes in manim. Is it something you've thought about??
There has been some discussion about it recently, the inherent design (everything is 3D) makes it somewhat complicated to implement blending modes easily.
thanks for explanation.
Does this change the Color(hue = j/n) for j in range(n). Would it be something similar like ManimColor(...)? Enjoying the videos so far!
Indeed! Currently we don't have a shorthand version for it -- the call would roughly be equivalent to ManimColor.from_hsv((j/n, 1., 1.)). Hope this helps!

@@behackl If you don't mind I write a GitHub issue so we keep track of it :)
sure, go ahead!
