Hi all, To start off i know how to cell shade, but the other day i saw someone who had the cell shading effect but with a transparent umm inner sphere.
It was basicly an invisible av but all i could see was the cell shading effect on the outsides. Dispite my efforts i'm unable to work how this is done, could someone help me out?
Thankyou!

Use the double-prim method for cell shading, not the twisted sphere method. Use a 32-bit texture on the outline prim. Use an invisiprim for the inner prim. The invisiprim will hide the avatar, and the portion of the 32-bit texture it covers, leaving you with the appearance of nothing but an outline.

I'm selling an avatar made that way, might be the one you saw. It was made using the standard cell-shading technique with an invisiprim as the inner of the prims. * there's some pictures of the av here, about halfway down the page. http://avatartoolbox.googlepages.com/Invisiprims.html

Hmm i still cant get this to work, what am i doing wrong?
1) two sphere's, one 500x500x500, the other 550x550x550. 2) small sphere has the invisprim script. 3) large sphere is textured black, them hollowed (95%) and the freebie 'totally clear' applied to the outside. 4) small sphere is placed perfectly inside the larger prim.
The result is just a black sphere *scratches head*

Try a smidge of transparency on the black.
