Скачать или смотреть Three.js Tutorial: Creating a Distance Field Wave Animation

Challenge accepted! In this episode, we tackle the "Today's Challenge" recently highlighted by the official Three.js team on X. We're going to build that stunning, procedural wave animation completely from scratch.

This isn't just a simple ripple from the center. We'll dive deep into a professional motion graphics technique to create waves that radiate from any shape you define. This is the secret to making truly complex and organic generative art.

This is a step-by-step, line-by-line tutorial perfect for anyone who has followed the series or is comfortable with the basics of Three.js.

In this tutorial, you'll master:
A "Distance Field" concept: Calculating the distance of every object to a custom shape.
Advanced `InstancedMesh` for high-performance rendering of thousands of objects.
Using Trigonometry (Sine, Cosine) to create procedural layouts and animations.
Applying realistic shadows with `DirectionalLight` to add depth and realism.
The math behind a procedural sine wave with falloff for a natural, fluid motion.

The full source code for this project is also available on the AnimTheme marketplace.
