discussion Is "Scale-Effect" a myth?

Yes & with a total cataract on the right eye I can only see red with the left. I used to be able to see blues with the right.

The surgeon has assured me he will enable the blues & place in an innovation for yellows. He says if i use both eyes i will get grey.

If I use both eyes I get cross eyed…..

So ......ORANGE what came first are they called oranges because of the colour or is the colour called because of the fruit, look down the super market diffrent sizes all diffren shades but they are all orange you don't stand there going thats not correct no because there bloody orange , limes their green and come in diffrent sizes and shades but hey yeh green ,lemons banana's from bright to pale but all are yellow ,what ever colour your tank wingy thing if its recognisable for what it is a certain type mk of tank or wingy thing then hey ho job done . Dave

Hey Dave, oranges are really blue anyway. The orange colour is just the light bit they don’t like so they reject it. The blue but makes them feel all warm and fuzzy so they take it in!

And half of us need glasses so probably can't see bugger all properly anyway :tongue-out3:

I actually do see slightly different colours with each eye Mark. The right one is definitely biased towards the blue end of the spectrum. My dominant eye is the left one, so I see colours slightly on the warm side :loudly-crying:

 

[Tim Marlow]

Only half....?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!! :surprised: :smiling2:

Yep, the rest need contact lenses!

Can see fine with my right eye,all gets a bit fuzzy with the left one,left eye was weak and as a kid if I had worn my national health specs like I was told it would be ok, but half blind is better than uncool at that age lol.

So ......ORANGE what came first are they called oranges because of the colour or is the colour called because of the fruit

In English, the colour orange is named after the appearance of the ripe orange fruit.[3] The word comes from the Old French: orange, from the old term for the fruit, pomme d'orange. The French word, in turn, comes from the Italian arancia,[4][5] based on Arabic nāranj (نارنج), borrowed from Persian naarang derived from Sanskrit nāraṅga (नारङ्ग), which in turn derives from a Dravidian root word (compare நரந்தம்/നാരങ്ങ narandam/naranja which refers to bitter orange in Tamil and Malayalam).[6]

Does that make you the Crimson chin then?

Call it what you like, it still absorbs blue light and bounces off yellow and red :tongue-out3:

Laurie,
I have gone (very slightly) grey and I still have the use (more or less) of both eyes - I can't believe that lack of colour perception makes one need that well known hair colourant! (Or maybe I'm losing my (coloured) marbles as well!)

Well, it depends on your perspective I suppose.

The problem with miniatures is that the respective surface areas are, of course, much smaller than the real thing. Now when you look at a 1:1 object the light reflects off the object and creates varying hues of colour due to the size of the surface you are looking at. At miniatures scale this variation in reflected light is much less evident and therefore to create a realistic full size effect you have to create color variations across the surface by artificially varying the colour hue. Note that colours all have three qualities, hue, tone and temperature. If you do not provide variations across a surface then the model will look like a toy.

The second phenomenon that affects models is the perception of EDGES. 1:1 objects have readily observable edges due to their size. In models the edges of planes are less noticeable because they are smaller. To create realism at small scale it is often necessary to exaggerate the edges of surfaces, by altering the colour hue or tone, so that the overall form can be perceived.

I think the above two facts argue for a specific treatment of small scale models in order to make them look real.
