I've heard it said previously that manim is hard to use if you're not 3b1b. Is this (still) true? How hard was the manim side of things to implement, subjective

  Since I last used it, it looks like there has been a lot of work on manim in the community fork [1]. It used to definitely be a fair amount of work to figure things out, but it looks like things are easier now. I remember having to dig through source code for everything and the SVG rendering was a nightmare, but since then there's now some proper documentation [2] and an overhaul of how manim does SVG rendering [3]. Looks like it's much nicer to use now. It's worth messing around with if you haven't used manim before [1] https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/ https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/ [2] https://docs.manim.community/en/v0.4.0/index.html https://docs.manim.community/en/v0.4.0/index.html [3] https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/915 https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/915

  All points roboticmind said are true There is also a good tutorial for manim on YouTube [1] Coming to this project, getting things working with original manim (ManimGL) was a bit of a pain, however, the community edition works very nice. I have compared the outputs produced by ManimGL and ManimCE in the docs [2], you can have a look at that as well [1]: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2B6OzTsMUrwo4hA3BBfS7ZR34K361Z8F https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2B6OzTsMUrwo4hA3BBfS...
