   Painting of Ranjit Singh wearing the Koh-i-Noor armlet (2009) One day, Ranjit Singh asked the diamond's former owners – Shuja and his wife Wafa Begum – to estimate its value. Wafa Begum replied that if a strong man threw a stone in four cardinal directions and vertically, Koh-i-Noor would be worth more than the gold and precious stones ...

3. Fractal landscape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_landscape

   Fractal landscape. Use of triangular fractals to create a mountainous terrain. A fractal landscape or fractal surface is generated using a stochastic algorithm designed to produce fractal behavior that mimics the appearance of natural terrain. In other words, the surface resulting from the procedure is not a deterministic, but rather a random ...

4. Diamond-square algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-square_algorithm

   The diamond-square algorithm is a method for generating heightmaps for computer graphics. It is a slightly better algorithm than the three-dimensional implementation of the midpoint displacement algorithm, which produces two-dimensional landscapes. It is also known as the random midpoint displacement fractal, the cloud fractal or the plasma ...

6. Scenery generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scenery_generator

   Scenery generation is used in most 3D based video-games. These typically use either custom or purchased engines that contain their own scenery generators. For some games they tend to use a procedurally generated terrain. These typically use a form of height mapping and use of Perlin noise. This will create a grid that with one point in a 2D ...
