Surely the easiest way is to render the figure and the background separately, them comp 'em together in Photoshop.  Set up something for the figure to give a ghostly inner glow - Edge Blend does the job in Firefly - then render the figure.  Render the background alone, drop the figure in after and adjust transparency as desired.

Doing it that way, you have a transparent figure that is transparent only to the background, and not to various parts of itself.

That's cheating, for the "no postwork" crowd. ;-)

It is easy enough to do in Photoshop, but I have to admit, I'm curious about how Cyllan managed to do transparency gradients and such, just in Poser.
