True don, but the problem with that is that Poser ghosts using transparency are more like X-Rays then ghosts. This is shown in the image you posted above, most notably in the eye and mouth areas. It doesn't really have an overlapping part of the body, but when they do, it tends to show that overlap too, taking away the 3D effect. While certainly it depends on the effect you are trying to create and Pepper's isn't the only way to get ghosts in Vue, it does provides a method if full color ghosts are what is required in the image.

Now I hadn't thought about the glow in Vue and using it to make the ghosts glow. I'll have to give that a try. We didn't have that feature in Bryce, so I didn't think about it here. Probably would have made my life a bit easier, so thanks for the tip.
