56	## Scene Templates
57
58	Copy and modify these templates to start new projects:
59
60	- [templates/basic_scene.py](templates/basic_scene.py) - Standard 2D scene template
61	- [templates/camera_scene.py](templates/camera_scene.py) - MovingCameraScene with zoom/pan
62	- [templates/threed_scene.py](templates/threed_scene.py) - 3D scene with surfaces and camera rotation
63
64	## Quick Reference
65
66	### Basic Scene Structure
67	```python
68	from manim import *
69
70	class MyScene(Scene):
71	def construct(self):
72	# Create mobjects
73	circle = Circle()
74
75	# Add to scene (static)
76	self.add(circle)
77
78	# Or animate
79	self.play(Create(circle))
80
81	# Wait
82	self.wait(1)
83	```
84
85	### Render Command
86	```bash
87	# Basic render with preview
88	manim -pql scene.py MyScene
89
90	# Quality flags: -ql (low), -qm (medium), -qh (high), -qk (4k)
91	manim -pqh scene.py MyScene
92	```
93
94	### Key Differences from 3b1b/ManimGL
95
96	\| Feature \| Manim Community \| 3b1b/ManimGL \|
97	\|---------\|-----------------\|--------------\|
98	\| Import \| `from manim import ` \| `from manimlib import ` \|
99	\| CLI \| `manim` \| `manimgl` \|
100	\| Math text \| `MathTex(r"\pi")` \| `Tex(R"\pi")` \|
101	\| Scene \| `Scene` \| `InteractiveScene` \|
102	\| Package \| `manim` (PyPI) \| `manimgl` (PyPI) \|
103
104	### Jupyter Notebook Support
105
106	Use the `%%manim` cell magic:
107
108	```python
109	%%manim -qm MyScene
110	class MyScene(Scene):
111	def construct(self):
112	self.play(Create
