Note:
[1] Currently, because of the Manim (OpenGL Version) upgrade, the two parameters ("gloss" and "shadow") are disabled. So, we cannot get the whole Sphere. We will figure it out.

Thank you for sharing the code snippet.

You're a legend.

[@alex_hiller]

You've got two axis_configs in the ThreeDAxes function though.

thank u

Thanks! Btw in ManimGL my SVG is not rendering properly, it has jagged edges and all :/ Why is that?

How to create a sphere centered in another coordinate?

I have used the following code to create the scene in manimCE but I could not get the transparency effect from manim import * #Manim Example | How to Show Sphere in Manim class CCS(ThreeDScene): def construct(self): axes = ThreeDAxes( x_min=-5, x_max=5, y_min=-4, y_max=4, z_min=-3, z_max=3, axis_config={ "stroke_color": WHITE, "stroke_width": 4, "include_tip": True, "include_ticks": True, "tick_size": 0.1 }, x_axis_config={ "stroke_color": WHITE, "stroke_width": 4, "include_tip": True, "include_ticks": True, "tick_size": 0.1 }, y_axis_config={ "stroke_color": WHITE, "stroke_width": 4, "include_tip": True, "include_ticks": True, "tick_size": 0.1 }, z_axis_config={ "stroke_color": WHITE, "stroke_width": 4, "include_tip": True, "include_ticks": True, "tick_size": 0.1 }) self.set_camera_orientation(phi=75 * DEGREES, theta=-45 * DEGREES) self.add(axes) sphere = Sphere(radius=1.8, resolution=(101,51), color=BLUE, opacity=0.8, gloss=0.3, shadow=0.4) self.play(Create(sphere), run_time=4) self.begin_ambient_camera_rotation(rate=0.3) self.wait(4) self.stop_ambient_camera_rotation() self.wait()

That’s right. Please substitute the "fill_opacity" parameter for the "opacity" parameter.
