The Oldest Thing You'll Ever Own
A scroll-driven diamond deep-time WebGL journey
An open-source, scroll-driven WebGL story published by prodiam. Follow a diamond from deep-Earth formation to a finished ring while a procedural Three.js mesh changes from rough crystal to faceted brilliant. Built with GSAP ScrollTrigger, Lenis, TypeScript and Vite. Explore without a login; source is MIT-licensed. Background films and imagery are AI-generated illustrations, not documentary footage or a scientific simulation.
This project introduces diamond deep time through a browser-based visual story rather than a static chart. Scroll through the scenes to see the central 3D stone change from rough crystal to brilliant cut.
The source includes procedural geometry, a rough morph target, scroll-linked camera and material changes, and conventional HTML layers behind a transparent canvas. It is a standalone educational experience, not a reusable npm package or a gem-grading tool.
Published by prodiam. The scene imagery and films are AI-generated illustrations; they do not depict a specific diamond or document an actual mine.
