How to color a cylinder?
18:33 28 Jan 2026

I am just trying to render a red cylinder. But the cylinder comes out blue with a checker pattern on its side (I want it red and without the checkered pattern)

from manim import *

class RotateTable(ThreeDScene):
    def construct(self):
        cylinder = Cylinder(radius=2, height=3,
                            color=RED, fill_opacity=1,
                            stroke_opacity=0, stroke_width=0).shift(0.5*RIGHT+1*IN + 0.001*OUT)
        self.add(cylinder)
        
        self.set_camera_orientation(phi=70*DEGREES, theta=0)
        self.wait(1)
