What are some advanced techniques in Manim?

Manim offers various advanced techniques like custom animations, 3D rendering, and scene composition. What specific area are you interested in?

Can you explain how to create custom animations?

Sure! To create custom animations in Manim, you can subclass the Animation class and define your own methods for the animation logic. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Here's a simple example:

from manim import *

class CustomAnimation(Animation):
    def __init__(self, mobject, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(mobject, **kwargs)
        self.mobject = mobject

    def interpolate_mobject(self, alpha):
        self.mobject.shift(alpha * RIGHT)

class MyScene(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        square = Square()
        self.play(Create(square))
        self.play(CustomAnimation(square))

This creates a custom animation that shifts a square to the right. Let me know if you have questions!

That's great! How about 3D rendering techniques?

For 3D rendering in Manim, you can use the ThreeDScene class. It allows you to create 3D objects and manipulate the camera. Would you like to see an example?
