Retro Grid is a canvas-based animated background component that recreates classic synthwave and retro-futuristic grid visuals using real-time 3D perspective projection. The grid continuously scrolls forward, creating depth and motion while maintaining a clean and immersive look.
The component supports full control over grid size, line thickness, opacity, animation speed, and camera rotation across all axes. A dynamic highlight effect can be enabled to add glowing accents that travel through the grid, enhancing depth and visual interest.
You can rotate the grid in 3D space, adjust zoom levels, and fine-tune perspective to create anything from subtle ambient motion to bold, cinematic hero backgrounds. All content layers cleanly above the animation, remaining fully interactive and readable.
Retro Grid automatically adapts to its container size and performs efficiently across modern browsers, making it suitable for landing pages, hero sections, and immersive layouts.
