quite interesting, love the easy interface…

though I have a small question, I saw the box rotates when I move the mouse, can this be limited to just the a section of the screen or are we talking about the whole page.

@Crazyhunk: Sure, you could grab the canvas element that the renderer uses with renderer.domElement, then attach the mousemove handler to the canvas element instead of the document. Then the box should only rotate when the mouse is moved inside the canvas element.

Nice work there, but i found out the script is consuming too much gpu resources, you can check this easly with gpu-z.
To work around this issue, change one couple lines
// animate(); and inside animate function //requestAnimFrame( animate );
to call the script just put setInterval( animate, 1000 / 60 ); before mouse event, gpu resource will drop from 60% to 0% and when you move the object he goes max 10% -15%.

keep going, nice tutorial.
