Manim Academy

Video-ready 3D templates you can
learn & practice with friends

Watch the free class

Start with one class, free. Then follow a guide that grows every week: templates, plugin walkthroughs, monthly calls, and challenges with prizes.

A platform being built in the open.

Nothing here is finished, and that is the point. You get in at the bottom of the price and watch each piece land.

F-01

The first class

Live

Recreate a real animation from scratch, step by step. Free, forever, no account needed to watch.

F-02

Weekly templates

Building

A new drop-in Manim scene every week: transitions, plots, proofs. Copy, tweak, ship.

F-03

Auto-updates

Building

The guide keeps itself current as Manim and its plugins change. You never read a dead snippet.

F-04

Plugin guides

Planned

Hands-on walkthroughs for the astronomy, physics, math and voiceover plugins.

F-05

YouTube collab directory

Planned

A running list of channels open to collaborations, with what they cover and how to reach them.

F-06

Monthly tips calls

Planned

Live calls to trade tricks, review each other's scenes and find new things worth building.

F-07

Challenge leaderboard

Building

Ranked Manim challenges with prizes. Recreate a target, submit the code and the render, fastest faithful build wins.

Recreate the image. Beat the clock.

Five challenges to open the season. Each one is a single image you have to rebuild in Manim.

01

See the target image once. A timer starts, anywhere from zero to one hour.

02

Recreate it in Manim, as close to the original as you can get.

03

Submit two things: the code that made it, and the rendered video.

04

Every entry is checked by eye against the target.

05

The fastest faithful recreation takes the prize.

Targets stay hidden until it is your turn. If player A goes first, player B never sees the image early. Everyone views it once, then races to rebuild it.
