Manim
A community-maintained Python framework for creating animations
A community-maintained Python library for creating mathematical animations. Manim is a free and open-source project originally written by Grant Sanderson. It is now maintained by the Manim Community and permissively released under the MIT license. Manim was originally created by Grant Sanderson as a personal project and for use in his YouTube channel, 3Blue1Brown. As his channel gained popularity, many grew to like the style of his animations and wanted to use manim for their own projects. However, as manim was only intended for personal use, it was very difficult for other users to install and use it. Manim, or ManimCE refers to the community-maintained version of the library. This is the version documented on this website; the package name on PyPI is manim. ManimGL is the latest released version of the library developed by Grant “3b1b” Sanderson. It has more experimental features and breaking changes between versions are not documented. -

css3-
CSS3 implements various 3D && 3D planetary animation effects
css3- is an extensive collection of CSS3 demonstrations and visual experiments that highlight modern styling capabilities through practical, hands-on examples. The repository focuses on helping front-end developers understand how to implement sophisticated UI effects using native browser features rather than heavy external libraries. It covers a wide range of topics including animations, layout tricks, transitions, and creative visual compositions. The project is structured as a reference-style showcase where each example isolates a specific technique, making it easy to study and adapt into real projects. Its educational value lies in revealing non-obvious CSS behaviors and encouraging deeper mastery of the styling layer. Overall, css3- serves as a comprehensive learning and inspiration resource for developers seeking to master advanced CSS3 techniques. -

Animated Drawings
Code to accompany "A Method for Animating Children's Drawings"
AnimatedDrawings is a framework that converts user sketches or line drawings into fully animated 2D motion sequences using learned motion priors. The idea is that you draw a simple static figure (stick figure, silhouette, or contour lines), and the system produces plausible skeletal motion (walking, jumping, dancing) that adheres to the drawn shape constraints. The architecture separates shape embedding (to understand user-drawn geometry) from motion embedding / generation (to produce temporally coherent movement). Users can provide rough keyframes or control constraints (pose anchors), and the system fills intermediate frames with fluid animation. The repository includes demonstration apps and notebooks where you can upload or draw shapes and watch animations play. Because the approach is data-driven, it generalizes to new drawings even with varying proportions or stylizations. -

AnimateDiff
Plug-n-play module turning text-to-image models into animation
AnimateDiff is an open-source project designed to enhance text-to-image diffusion models by adding animation capabilities. It allows users to turn static images generated by popular text-to-image models into animated sequences without requiring additional model training. This plug-and-play tool is compatible with a wide range of community models and facilitates the generation of animation directly from pre-existing text-to-image models. It supports various configurations to create animations with different visual styles, providing flexibility and ease of use for developers and artists interested in exploring dynamic, AI-generated animations. -

Flint
Actionscript 3 Particle Engine for Flash and Flex
Flint is an ActionScript 3 particle engine designed for creating rich particle effects in Flash and Flex applications, providing tools for animations like fire, smoke, and explosions. This first tutorial will introduce the basics of Flint through a project to create a snow effect. Our effect will be snow flakes drifting down the screen. Each snow flake will be a particle in our particle system. If you want to see the final effect, scroll to the bottom of the page. This tutorial works with version 4.0.0 of the Flint library. This example creates a 2D particle effect. For 3D particle effects the principles are the same but you use a 3D emitter and 3D behaviours. First create a new Flash file (Actionscript 3). Set the stage size to 500 pixels wide and 400 pixels high, set the frame rate to 30 fps and set the background color to black. -

Animatable
One property, two values, endless possiblities
Animatable is an interactive web gallery that demonstrates which CSS properties can transition between two values. Each tile represents one property and continuously alternates between a defined starting and ending state. Visitors can animate every example at once or trigger individual demonstrations by hovering. Selecting a tile reveals the property name, both values, authorship information, and controls for moving to adjacent examples. Keyboard navigation supports Escape and the arrow keys for faster exploration. The page generates its keyframes dynamically with JavaScript and applies compatibility fixes through StyleFix. It serves as a visual reference and experimental showcase rather than a general-purpose animation library.
