Imagine sunshine from an oblique angle on matte glass. The matte surface defuses the light, making the translucent object brighter than the background.

- crazygringo 8y agoYes, that's exactly what the original article called "gross" because it's casting a shadow behind, as real physics would do (because the translucent object is brighter and reflecting light back). The author wants to have a shadow around the edges but somehow not a shadow behind the object itself, which is what doesn't make sense.
