I’m sorry if this a dumb question to ask but I don’t even know how to start looking.  
I want to accomplish a similar effect than in the gif, I just want a specific mesh to “shine” or “blink” like that. Any suggestions?  
Thanks in advance.

It depends a bit on your material but for lit materials you could modulate [Material.emissive](https://threejs.org/docs/index.html#api/en/materials/MeshPhongMaterial.emissive).
