    Academa Labs open-sources ManimGX, a Manim-compatible Rust/wgpu engine claiming ~90× faster 3D renders

    GitHub academa-labs/manimgx published this on Oct 11, 2026 (source: github.com).

    ManimGX is an open-source animation engine that keeps Manim Community Edition's Python API on a Rust + wgpu renderer. Academa's docs and GitHub README say that across five 1080p60 scenes on an Apple M4 Pro it was 90.6× faster than ManimCE from process launch to finished MP4 (36.2 seconds of video in 3.08 seconds), and also faster than ManimGL and Blender Workbench in the same bench. Install via pip; native wheels ship for macOS, Windows and Linux.
