    glow channel maybe on black bg
    semi opaque grey M4, V4 mouth eye bits full alpha with conformed skeletons using the glow?

    At least something close to it.
    Maybe a good base to do it lots better with a more sophisticated shader setup.
    Your turn :-) !

    thank you! that is ultra convincing!!! but I don't understand, in your shader, the "color" red mix!???

    well, 'til it works......
    Its an older test I did, haven't checked the settings again. Sorry.

    But: !
    just substitute the red color with a value 1-100,
    it still works. For subtle changes values work better anyway.

    Go here and look at this article on edge falloff. http://carraracafe.com/articles/10-reasons-you-need-a-falloff-shader/

    I think "Sparrowhawke" ( you will have to google it/him.) Has a free Edge Fall off shader on his website. It could add a bit of extra zing to the posts above.


    Edit . There is a link to Sparrowharke at the end of the article.

    Hi,

    I think the best way for X ray is the plug Shader Ops from DIGITAL CARVER.

    http://www.digitalcarversguild.com/plugin.php?ProductId=11

    Very simple to use

    Thanks for the great information in this thread.

    This an experiment using Sparrowhawk3D's edge falloff shader [ http://www.sparrowhawke3d.com/Sparrowhawke3DLaboratory.html ] in Carrara 8.5 Pro to create an X-ray effect. I used a M4 skeleton and DAZ anatomy attached to a Genesis figure.
