Runnable examples for the currently supported feature set. Previews are lazy and only compile when you click Render preview, so opening this page does not trigger a flood of compile requests.

Camera & 3D

3D cube camera move

Set an initial 3D camera orientation, reveal a cube, and animate the camera to a new view.

from manim import * class SimpleCubeScene(ThreeDScene):    def construct(self):        self.set_camera_orientation(            phi=72 * DEGREES,            theta=-42 * DEGREES,            distance=7.5,        )         cube = Cube()         self.add(cube)        self.play(FadeIn(cube, scale=0.92), run_time=0.8)        self.move_camera(            phi=64 * DEGREES,            theta=-28 * DEGREES,            distance=7.1,            run_time=1.6,        )        self.wait(1.2) scene = SimpleCubeScene()scene.construct()

3D scene with fixed overlay

Combine a 3D object with a title that stays fixed in screen space.

from manim import * class FixedOverlayScene(ThreeDScene):    def construct(self):        self.set_camera_orientation(phi=68 * DEGREES, theta=-35 * DEGREES, distance=7.2)         title = Text("Fixed overlay", font_size=34, color=YELLOW).to_edge(UP)        subtitle = Text("HUD stays flat while the 3D camera moves", font_size=20, color=WHITE).next_to(title, DOWN, buff=0.12)        self.add_fixed_in_frame_mobjects(title, subtitle)        self.add(title, subtitle)         axes = ThreeDAxes()        cube = Cube().set_color(BLUE)        cube.rotate(20 * DEGREES, axis=RIGHT)        cube.rotate(25 * DEGREES, axis=UP)         self.add(axes, cube)        self.begin_ambient_camera_rotation(rate=0.18)        self.wait(2.5)        self.stop_ambient_camera_rotation()        self.wait(0.3) scene = FixedOverlayScene()scene.construct()

Release a fixed overlay

Pin a label to the frame for the intro, then remove the fixed flag so later camera motion affects it like a normal scene object.

from manim import * class FixedOverlayReleaseScene(ThreeDScene):    def construct(self):        self.set_camera_orientation(phi=68 * DEGREES, theta=-34 * DEGREES, distance=7.3)         axes = ThreeDAxes()        cube = Cube().set_color(BLUE)        cube.rotate(20 * DEGREES, axis=RIGHT)        cube.rotate(24 * DEGREES, axis=UP)         label = Text("Pinned first", font_size=28, color=YELLOW).to_edge(UP)        self.add_fixed_in_frame_mobjects(label)         self.add(axes, cube)        self.play(FadeIn(cube), FadeIn(label), run_time=0.7)        self.move_camera(phi=62 * DEGREES, theta=-12 * DEGREES, distance=7.0, run_time=1.0)         self.remove_fixed_in_frame_mobjects(label)        self.wait(0.15)        self.play(label.animate.move_to(RIGHT * 2.1 + UP * 1.1), run_time=0.6)        self.begin_ambient_camera_rotation(rate=0.16)        self.wait(1.6)        self.stop_ambient_camera_rotation()        self.wait(0.3) scene = FixedOverlayReleaseScene()scene.construct()

3D world space vs frame space

Contrast a world-space label with a fixed-in-frame HUD in a 3D scene, then remove the fixed flag so the HUD rejoins the world before more camera motion.

from manim import * class ThreeDWorldVsFrameScene(ThreeDScene):    def construct(self):        self.set_camera_orientation(phi=68 * DEGREES, theta=-38 * DEGREES, distance=7.4)         axes = ThreeDAxes()        cube = Cube().set_color(BLUE).shift(LEFT * 0.7)        cube.rotate(18 * DEGREES, axis=RIGHT)        cube.rotate(26 * DEGREES, axis=UP)        world_label = Text("World space", font_size=24, color=BLUE).move_to(LEFT * 2.5 + UP * 1.3)         hud_title = Text("Frame HUD", font_size=28, color=YELLOW)        hud_subtitle = Text("Pinned to the viewport", font_size=18, color=WHITE)        hud = VGroup(hud_title, hud_subtitle).arrange(DOWN, aligned_edge=LEFT, buff=0.08)        hud.to_corner(UR, buff=0.35)         self.add_fixed_in_frame_mobjects(hud)        self.add(axes, cube, world_label, hud)        self.play(FadeIn(cube), FadeIn(world_label), FadeIn(hud), run_time=0.7)        self.move_camera(phi=62 * DEGREES, theta=-16 * DEGREES, distance=7.0, run_time=1.0)        self.wait(0.2)         self.remove_fixed_in_frame_mobjects(hud)        self.play(hud.animate.move_to(RIGHT * 2.5 + UP * 1.2), run_time=0.55)        self.begin_ambient_camera_rotation(rate=0.16)        self.wait(1.3)        self.stop_ambient_camera_rotation()        self.wait(0.2) scene = ThreeDWorldVsFrameScene()scene.construct()
