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.
