That suddenly explains the orange clown makeup Trump uses…he couldn’t spray paint his bald spot Orange without getting it on his face, so he just went with Orange as a face color too. His true color is a sickly translucent pale pink, so it was a smart makeup decision to “enhance” his skin tone….it would have been even smarter to choose a color humans can be.

Marble is translucent, the same as human skin. When they cover marble they lose all the the inner refractions, and it ends up looking like cheap plastic.

I'm not saying the statues weren't painted, but art historians ought to at least try truculent paints.

The dome is spinning on a lathe, while the diamond cutter, takes off a this layer, removing the translucent outer layer, leaving it clear.

I'd agree mostly, but if you'll notice, the wings are translucent and the big dark furry shape probably should have been noticed if he had been checking thoroughly.

Also, on a normal plane, wings tend to be full of fuel so internal wing inspections would be problematic at best, and the control arms and cables on an ultralight can certainly get blocked by a foreign body. Personally, the cat being where it was, I would have at least used that opening to check for visible cable fraying and would have most likely found him.

I'd also be looking for damage caused by the rodents the cat was probably hunting for to begin with.

It is still pretty cool to see large cubes of translucent salt just lying around. I certainly would never encounter it in my daily life.

Keep a-tweakin' them genes, poindexter...

Future foodstuffs of Earth:
a white, semi-translucent, gelatinous substance can be found in dispensers with spigots and eaten from suitable dishes. Its composition is given as a single-celled protein, vitamin, mineral, and amino acid colloid. Reviews are unfavorable due to its consistency. It's compared to "runny eggs" at best and "a bowl of snot" at worst."

I like eating those potstickers that come in those translucent wraps.

What the fuck is this? TorutureAnimalSift? Next we'll have a shit-ton of videos with assholes poking lions with sticks through the bars of their cages and tapping the glass at the aquarium.
Bullshit. Video doesn't belong here.

I don't find this video anymore objectionable than this for example.
Sorry if my tags and title sounded like I'd find it amusing how those little ones react when captured. I assumed they were treated well in general.

Fair point, but it's the old "Two tortured animals doesn't make a right" quandary.
Also minor difference- the cat was terrified, which is understandable considering the circumstances and surroundings- it was probably confused, disoriented and scared but nobody was deliberately hurting it. In this video the frog is being goaded by someone poking the container with their finger- you can see this on the left side through the translucent plastic.
I stand by the assertion that this is animal torture and doesn't belong on the sift.
Footnote: I've flagged the video on youtube for animal abuse. Hopefully that will take care of it.

Oh, I missed the finger. This puts it in the torture category for me, too.
I just found it hilarious, how the other frog "complained" about the noise
discard

I remember first year of art school where we had to unlearn all we thought we knew about colour and relearn about the nuances in colours that we were never exposed to as a non-artist.

There are the hues
Primary: red, blue, yellow (white and black)
Secondary: orange, purple, green
Tertiary: red-orange, red-blue, yellow-blue, yellow-green ect.
Or even further - Quad-clours: red-red-blue or yellow-yellow-green

The complements: colours the appear on complete opposite sides of the colour wheel.
red compliments green, yellow complements purple, orange complements blue

And then the variations:

Intensity: Intensity can only be controled by the purity of the pigment being used. You can never increase the intensity of a colour, you can only decrease it by the means of combining it with any other pigment. The reason why artists pay premium prices for pure colours such as cadmium.
Value: colour changes made when mixing with various degrees of complement colours - mixing red with green, yellow with purple, mixing orange with blue.
Shade: colour changes made when mixing with various degrees of white (tints) or black (shades) to a hue. Black creating low values, white creating high values.
Coverage: Opaque vs. transparent/translucent applications

Using this structure, all the colour terms an average person uses now means nothing to me. words such as teal, brown, periwinkle etc.

These colours can now be described using a more precise system which includes a higher degree of variation..
Brown: low-intensity, low-value, red-brown.
Auqa: high-intensity, high-value, blue-green

OK class dismissed... There will be no test on today's lesson

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I'm talking about the changing of the window in the background to whatever icon you've alt-tabbed to. I don't want it to do that unless I release on that icon. Probably just a taste thing, but I find it really distracting to have the background window constantly flipping each time I progress on that alt-tab. Especially with the translucent Aero UI - I get lost. It's a pretty ugly default implementation IMO, though I know I can change it.

>> ^psolomon:

Alt-tab but hold the Alt button. Select the icon you want.
>> ^dag:
Windows 7 however, is a frigging awful experience any way you slice it. It's stupid little things like the alt-tab selecting whatever window is in the background when really you just want to cycle through the icons.

I like cgi, but it is also the most hardest artform to shake off the "somethings wrong" factor. Avatar was indeed the best imo, the muscle usage and facial animation is the best I have seen.

As for legend, I had no issue with the CGI humans, and imo the above makeup test looks pretty bad. The eyes are clearly mechanical and blink at odd times. The CGI humans offered up a bit of a translucent type skin, also they showed a slimed down body design that only runway models could capture.

the problem with traditional makeup when used with monsters and aliens is that they can get pigion holed into 2 legged designs which is not realistic, or interesting.
