Hello everyone, I will explain the current status of manim in this issue.

Now there are three main manim versions, and their differences:

  1. The master branch of 3b1b/manim: (probably the most used currently) rendering on the CPU using cairo, currently stable.
  2. The shaders branch of 3b1b/manim: (Grant is making, using and perfecting) rendering on GPU using modernGL.
  3. ManimCommunity/manim: (@ManimCommunity is being improved and will be released on pypi) also uses cairo to render on the CPU, but has changed a lot of structure and added many new features.

If you want to contribute to manim:

  • The master branch of 3b1b/manim currently only accepts pull requests that fixes bugs / fixes typos / improves existing content, and it is not recommended to add new features to it. Besides, the document in docs/ folder may not be updated, so it is also not recommended to change the docs/.
  • ManimCommunity/manim accepts a wider range of new features and pull requests.
  • manim-kindergarten/manim_sandbox has a lot of new common classes in the utils/ folder, and accepts pull requests.

Lastly, thank you very much for using manim and willing to contribute. Enjoy yourself ! 😄

What is the current status of the shaders branch?

3b1b is making and perfecting the manim in the shaders branch, which will be faster. But there may be some problems and not stable at present. If you have the ability to solve the problems you met, you can try to use it. But for the pull requests for shaders branch, 3b1b may handle it by himself, in other words, it will make you wait for a long time and may not be merged.
