I have created two 3JS objects and scenes for educational purposes. Each one is stored in separate PHP files (not in the jsfiddle). However, I'm facing an issue where adding a second object causes the first object to stop animating. How can I troubleshoot this problem and ensure that multiple threejs items animate simultaneously?
//GRID OBJ represents the first object, while //BALL represents the second. When I remove the script for the 3js ball, the grid animates as expected. But when the ball script is added, only the ball animates while the grid stops.
