I've been doing visualisations with Pythons for years now. But that notebook with plots at 3:00 is just beyond anything i've seen. The gradients are beautiful, the code clean. Really a top tier design all the way through. Major props.
This is huge! Thanks so much for this. I always wanted something like a roadmap to explain things going on in my head. Love your mix and match... cheers! Keep it up man!
Dude you are killing it, genuinely so impressed by your animation skills, such a cool toolset to have. Imagine if people presented their research papers using these kinds of tools instead of generic matplotlib graphs, science communication would be revolutionised.
@@nilshallmanns3725 Reckon it's mostly just down to time pressure and people not making the effort to learn to do it. A lot of scientists still don't know how to code so the idea of producing something like this is well off
Yes, I am usually sceptical about using MPL too, and got sick of it's boring estethics. The more surprising it is to see what visuals can be done with it by someone with skill. Respect
Be careful. My friend got into this exact thing, making cool little visuals for telescope array data, and he somehow got sucked into that being his entire career.
@@DrELDful the first one he did was for SpaceX and they just hired him as an animator, I think he freelanced for about 2 years, as different made-up things like "technical animator" and "data visualization strategist." He's settled now at a big company which I'll have to ask him if I can say, but he's labeled as a visualization engineer. I think it's a legit position now, but when he got into it, it was pretty much like someone's at the conference for the SpaceX thing, asks who did the visualizations, etc. So it didn't really matter what he called himself back then because people just knew that there was a guy doing it and they needed to figure out who it was.
Thank you, Artem, for generously sharing your knowledge. As a high school physics teacher, I believe that visualization is central to explaining intricate physics concepts. I hold great appreciation for individuals like you who have accumulated valuable wisdom from their own experiences over the years. By making this hard-earned wisdom accessible to others, you're easing their path and sparing them from going through the same trial-and-error process, which can lead to unnecessary frustrations and struggles. Your contributions highlight the finest elements of human collaboration and learning.
I see new sci-comm channels with great potential popping up all the time! I think 3b1b's SoME competitions are having their intended effect 👏👏 And contributions like Artem's are pure gold for us hopefuls 😅
Scientific visualization is a great field to get into. It is overlooked vs. people wanting to make games. "Serious games" is an actual thing and have good-paying employment opportunities with companies that won't work you to death. Nice to see this content.
Fascinating seeing the process, props to you for sharing 🙏! I started playing with manim ce a while ago and very quickly grasped just how much work goes into Grant’s videos, insane!
Artem, your work is brilliant! Thank you for going behind the scenes on your process. Your video is the best resource (10 dB better than anything else out there) on developing mathematically oriented content.
I'm a toxicologist in the neuro, ocular, cardio, everything space and this is the coolest video on the interwebs! Me at my desk struggling to learn Python...this is so inspiring!
I was proud of myself creating a 30 second animation video last week. Dude here is creating one of the most complex animations on youtube to explain how he created the complex animation in his another video. I just want to know how much time did you take to make this 43 minute video. This is intense and I loved it. 😮
@@defenestrated23 You're right, though it highly depends on the experience of the editor and how much animating is involved. I think this video couldve easily taken abt a week to put together.
Just passed my first Python class in over 14 years. Man, what a decade and a half can make. This time, I got my first taste of visualizations in our group project. I'm hooked! Teach me more animations!
You are an inspiration. I am a fellow computational neuroscientist, and although I have studied and published about many of the things you talk about, I have never seen such clear animations of the concepts. Your videos give me new ideas about avenues of research, and I don't think I am alone. Keep going!
As an animator and not coder. Its ironic how much better the python animations are than anything I could do by hand. Would be really useful for certain types of graphics that are hard to draw.
I am just amazed by the ecosystem everyone has built around the internet to make all of these soulions possible. It is truly like a global piece of puzzle we are trying to solve.
This video is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you so much for taking the time to create these resources. I am hoping to start making computational neuroscience animations, and you've been an amazing inspiration!!
IMPORTANT NOTE! In Blender, plotting surfaces are now possible with geometry nodes! I’ve been using it with a bunch of trigonometry to generate cool animated infinite looping 3D patterns. Starting with a line whose height is modulated with a bunch of sine waves, turning that into a circle, then extruding it through the Y axis where Y modulates one or more of the sine functions. Time itself can modulate another. You can get some really awesome results
Just a fantastic video! So much information. And wow - what a deep appreciation I have for the work and attention to detail you put into your creations. World class!
Really nice video. Thank you for your help, I have been looking for this for a while, in order to do some animations. Keep uploading really good content.
i have been doing low level python coding videos for a while. I must say that your visualisations and the way that you put them together are excellent !!
Thank you! I have been using python to animate graphs in my lectures on business economics but I have gotten nowhere near the pleasing aesthetics of yours. Will be stealing your methods, so a massive thank you to your excellent explanation! Good luck on the PhD, I just got mine in May and I know what kind of effort goes into it!
OMG I thought this would be some kind workflow show-off thing like others. But you really explained it well. I always loved your videos. And this one is also very good.
Very interesting work! Nice insights! 26:27 - Tip: Blender has a native addon "Add Mesh: Extra Objects". It creates a "Math Function/z math surface" for z=f(x,y) surfaces inside the Add/Mesh menu But it is not procedural For a procedural z=f(x,y), you can use the geometry nodes. The only problem is Blender still does not have an "expression node" and create some functions/expressions using only math nodes could be very tedius! So, for now, a better way for procedural z=f(x,y) is to install the Sverchok Addon which is intented to archtectural/parametric designs. It has a bunch of nodes for mathematical expressions and you can easily create surfaces, scalar/vector fields and more.
This is amazing! I'll never be sophisticated enough to use this and probably will never have the need, but I'll always look at science animations in a different light.
Sorry if this is a dumb question -- I'm new to programming and I havent had a chance to watch this whole thing yet and only just found this channel but ive got a question about graph generation (and below timings / notation); is there a way (say a module or similar) to automatically generate a graph (nodes and links) representation of your code? static is perfectly fine, but furthermore could it be animated to show a 'logic flow' when given a different data set or different weights etc? Is this what your hinting at around @5:05 in the video? or did you animate a pre-determined graph? Similarly, is there a way to automatically get timings on something and represent the different notations or at least O-notation? If so, are these things only 'easy' in python or could these be done in C, C++ etc. and you could then show the similarities or differences from language to language; O-notation in all should be the same for all but then real-world running times of the 'same' code but in different languages (assuming same hardware) can be dramatically different pending the size of a data set, right? SO, further you could also use these to try and see what types of processes or data sets bottle neck different languages (if any differences can be found)?? Again, im new so please correct me if im understanding these concepts wrong.. I've always been super curious how these things could be generated to not only be used as a visual aid for explaining things to others less familiar with a specific batch of code or coding at all but also for the people looking to improve something it could possibly help highlight bottlenecks etc?!
how how how how HOW DO YOU HAVE THE TIME OMGGGGGG thank you so much for this and especially the neural manifolds and toroidal coordinate system because i'm trying to get a grasp on neural dynamics---- those two videos were so good at visualising the concepts 😤😭
Thank you for sharing in depth technical details on your workflow, very much appreciated. I'm working on a book that needs some static scientific images at various points and this will be very helpful.
This video is incredible! I think that you would earn a lot of money if you made it possible for people to download customizable animations like the ones you create! Thank you for sharing your process!
I am familiar with blender, matplotlib and after effects, even for infographics animation. But the way you use them and the results of your work are absolute incredible- it left my mouth open…. Just a little question- do you write a script for your videos in advance (animation and. Commentary) or you have an outline and do animation on the go? (Since the you have to rearrange everything in after effects to fit to your commentary?)
Это было увлекательное путешествие! Жалко, что я уже с половины видео перестал что-либо понимать и просто наслаждался картинкой =D Но лайк и подписка после такого просто обеспечены
Wow, awesome video! 💫 I will try these tricks for my future videos. I agree with you, manim is sometimes a bit too complicated. Your solution combining different software seems ideal Looking forward to your next videos!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing the practical experience of creating nice demos. I put this to "must learn" list for my talents and set the bar for presentations. The next step would be to share a video on what motivates you for all this hard work. It could help many others who are seeking for their area of interests.
Regarding your comment "Drawing gradient lines in manim" - Take a look at Brian Amedee's video "The Archimedean Spiral" right around 45s, where he draws a circle and a spiral with gradient lines.

Your mind is truly brilliant. You just demystify science animations. That's a whole lot of work you put in to generate your videos. Thank you.
Thanks
Now this is the video I've been waiting for. Blowing my mind here.
I am just amazed by the ecosystem everyone has built around the internet to make all of these soulions possible. It is truly like a global piece of puzzle we are trying to solve.
@26:33 there is build-in addon to construct a surface from z=f(x,y), name is "extra object", you'll find math function when add a new mesh
So it boils down that how you make science animations is a handful of software and your massive patience and creativity.
Absolutely awesome. Thanks for taking notes about each and every thing I asked for this video :D
This guy speaks without his voice but his facial expressions.
I appreciate the valuable information you provide mate!
