We wanted the same for 3D videos. You can use something like Blender, but it's heavy to install and slow to render.
So we made ManimGX:
- Lightweight: a 65–110 MB download, depending on the OS
- Easy to install: pip install manimgx (Python 3.13+), with no system dependencies
- Cross-platform: macOS, Windows and Linux, and even the browser via Pyodide and WebGPU
- Blazingly fast: a Rust + wgpu engine, 90.6× faster than Manim CE and 18.7× faster than Blender Workbench, from launch to finished MP4
- Compatible with Manim Community Edition's API, with LaTeX and Typst math built in
Now it's much easier for anyone with a coding agent to make 3D computer graphics videos.
