Common techniques include Simplex noise, fractals, or the diamond-square algorithm, which can generate 2-dimensional heightmaps. A version of scenery generator can be very simplistic. Using a diamond-square algorithm with some extra steps involving fractals an algorithm for random generation of terrain can be made with only 120 lines of code.
The "Cutter" name comes from its tendency to cut corners of squares and turn them into diamonds, as well as create distinct faces along stair-stepped pixels, i.e. those which exist on along the angles of edges found on a diamond.
A diamond tool is a cutting tool with diamond grains fixed on the functional parts of the tool via a bonding material or another method. As diamond is a superhard material , diamond tools have many advantages as compared with tools made with common abrasives such as corundum and silicon carbide .
Kai's Power Tools were sold to Corel in 2000 when MetaCreations was closed. [1] There are various versions of Kai's Power Tools. KPT 3, 5, [2] 6, and X sets are compilations of different filters. The program interface features a reward-based function in which a bonus function is revealed as the user moves towards more complex aspects of the tool.
Close-up shot of a diamond-pattern knurling on a cylindrical work piece. Knurling method: left/right with tips raised, spiral angle: 30°, pitch: 1 mm, profile angle: 90° Knurling is a manufacturing process, typically conducted on a lathe, whereby a pattern of straight, angled or crossed lines is rolled into the material. Knurling can also ...
Diamond cutting, as well as overall processing, is concentrated in a few cities around the world. The main diamond trading centers are Antwerp, Tel Aviv, and Dubai from where roughs are sent to the main processing centers of India and China. [3] Diamonds are cut and polished in Surat, India and the Chinese cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen. [4]
A gemcutter may cut and polish diamonds for industrial purposes, and be designated as an industrial diamond polisher. The Mohs hardness scale [25] is a commonly used tool in lapidary to help measure a mineral's scratch hardness. A mineral's scratch hardness is measured by seeing how easily scratched it is, and what other minerals on the Mohs ...
Diamond segment are the functional parts of a metal-bonded diamond tool. The metal-bonded diamond tool can be a metal-bonded diamond blade, a diamond grinding cup wheel, a diamond core drill bit, a diamond gang saw blade, etc. The diamonds of a metal-bonded diamond tool are all in the tool's diamond segments to play their role of cutting or ...
