I was scrolling on Pinterest looking for inspirations and I stumbled upon a very cool animation showcasing waves propagating across a grid of cubes with realistic shadows.
I thought to myself, 'that doesn't seem too hard to recreate in Three.js, why not consider it a small challenge?'
In this tutorial, we're going to build a minimalistic yet mesmerizing 3D wave grid background!
