Is there any way to re-create the top three components of this picture?
I have no idea where to begin. I am not the best with Tikz, but I can see having the spacing between the cubes being a huge pain.

@marmot my question might seem stupid but how did you acquire such an extensive knowledge of the tikz package? Was it attained just through reading the pgfmanual?

@Al_Fh My knowledge is not very deep and I learn a lot from examples. The pgfmanual is well written.

@marmot very humble of you! As always, thank you for the great answer!

@AidenKenny Yes, this what is done at the very end of the first code: ` path foreach XX in -1.5,0,1.5 (XX,0,0) pic[tdplot_main_coords,scale=0.4]cube array=num cubes x=3,cube scale=0.36;. There is an overall scale for the cube array,scale=0.4, and a scale for the single cubes,cube scale=0.36, which has to be a bit smaller than the overall scale in order to have gaps. You may also reduce theline width. Another thing you could do is to store some standard shapes insavebox`es and rescale them as you want.

@marmot my question might seem stupid but how did you acquire such an extensive knowledge of the tikz package? Was it attained just through reading the pgfmanual?

@Al_Fh My knowledge is not very deep and I learn a lot from examples. The pgfmanual is well written.

@AidenKenny Yes, this what is done at the very end of the first code: ` path foreach XX in -1.5,0,1.5 (XX,0,0) pic[tdplot_main_coords,scale=0.4]cube array=num cubes x=3,cube scale=0.36;. There is an overall scale for the cube array,scale=0.4, and a scale for the single cubes,cube scale=0.36, which has to be a bit smaller than the overall scale in order to have gaps. You may also reduce theline width. Another thing you could do is to store some standard shapes insavebox`es and rescale them as you want.

big, but it's still complex to work in 3D with Tikz.

@marmot my question might seem stupid but how did you acquire such an extensive knowledge of the tikz package? Was it attained just through reading the pgfmanual?

@Al_Fh My knowledge is not very deep and I learn a lot from examples. The pgfmanual is well written.

@AidenKenny Yes, this what is done at the very end of the first code: ` path foreach XX in -1.5,0,1.5 (XX,0,0) pic[tdplot_main_coords,scale=0.4]cube array=num cubes x=3,cube scale=0.36;. There is an overall scale for the cube array,scale=0.4, and a scale for the single cubes,cube scale=0.36, which has to be a bit smaller than the overall scale in order to have gaps. You may also reduce theline width. Another thing you could do is to store some standard shapes insavebox`es and rescale them as you want.
