Manim for Meshes

⚠️ Work in progress

Most of the code will be rearranged or changed to use OpenGL, but OpenGL is not yet used throughout manim-ce. Stay tuned.

Manim-Trimeshes implements manim functionalities for different types of meshes using either basic node-face data structures or for importing the python trimesh library.

It is mainly developed as a Project for Interactive Graphics Systems Group (GRIS) at TU Darmstadt, but is publicly available for everyone interested in rendering and animating meshes.

Installation

If published to pypi, can be installed using:

pip install manim-meshes

Usage

from manim_meshes import *

Example

In venv Run one of the minimal test examples: manim tests/test_scene.py ConeScene. Multiple other examples can be found in the tests/test_scene.py file.

Development

Set ./src/-folder as project sources root and ./tests/-folder as tests sources root if necessary.

Activate venv: cd ./manim_meshes/, then poetry shell

Install: poetry install

Update packages and .lock file: poetry update

If you implemented some features, update version using poetry: poetry version prerelease|patch|minor|major See the Poetry Documentation.

Even though if CI works properly, Publish is automatically, it can be done manually with: poetry publish --build
