Site Update
For a while now it's been said that crystal checking designs seems extremely complicated, and that while the old article was jam packed full of information... it was also a little daunting to read. I've had a lot of positive feedback about a guide I made on tumblr what seems an age ago, so I have updated it a little to fix my mistakes and have posted it to the knowledge base with hopes that the step-by-step guide will help even more people!
Along with it, you will see there have been some pretty major updates to modifiers - including some that have been asked for - to help simplify them for every day use.
I apologise that the transparency calculations section has not been completed yet,
but that part it turns out is trickier to explain and understand, and I want to make sure that it's crystal clear before unleashing it on you guys =)
There is also a slightly terrifying Humanoid rule article under way. I apologise in advance for any nightmares I cause (the mods still haven't forgiven me),
but I'm hoping to engage a real artist to do some better examples soon!
Hopefully all of this will help, and if there's still things that need some better explanation please let me know down below so I can see what I can do about clearing it up for you.

Eveglori (#2775) Will there be more regulations on Silver pets as well? Recently I've noticed a few PBC breedings that seem to be too 'humanoid', although I'm not sure if they pass by the rules in that article or not. I'm not sure whether I'm just really picky with what looks 'human' or not though, haha!
I'm sad I apparently missed the old examples. :(

p.poke ::: woogie (#5869) - Lol! I think the new ones are much better for being useful, though I'm glad mine gave some giggles ^^
♥ Mochi ♥ (#70211) - Vampi and I do our best when it comes to PBC but sometimes when the parents have a lot of humanoid features it can be hard to reign then back in.

Eveglori (#2775) That makes sense! Must be hard on the artists to make them as non-humanoid as possible while still matching the parents. :O

From what I'm getting here, they were pretty funny.

Oops... totally mispinged there - apologies! Let's try this again...
SG <3> Flora (#36207) - Taurs allow for a vaguely humanoid form in the torso, but otherwise are confined to the humanoid rules where you can only have certain edits in isolation. Most people opt for the arms and use fur or scales to hint at other features while staying within the confines of the rules.
