Out-of-Bounds: Generating and disposing of objects in Three.js and Cannon.js "Properly disposing of objects to
free up memory is vital in a WebGL application. As the balls fall over the edge, we rapidly and proportionally decrease their opacity, and when the opacity reaches zero, we dispose of the material and geometry and remove them from the physics world and render lists." From HoraceShmorace.

CodePen PRO
|
| Need to make a Pen, Project, or Collection private? That's just a toggle away with CodePen PRO. Prefer everything you make is private by default? No
problem. And if you are the type that makes private things and then makes them public when they are ready, you're in luck. That first private-to-public switch is when we send the Pen to the feeds.
