Hey All,

I saw something really cool. Someone (can't remember who) had placed a transparent "ghost" of their avatar at various places on their sim. It was very attention-getting, sort of like the drone police cruisers...the ones everyone knows are empty, yet they slow down anyway :-)

Anyone know how to do that? Thanks for your input, wisdom, and insight...and stuff

I suppose he took a screenshot of his avatar, cut it out in photoshop, created an alpha channel of the selection as a transparency mask, saved it as a 32 bit TGA file, applied it to a flat prim and made it slightly transparent.
