Cool! You should use emitting media, too (try emission 0.1), that's probably
the best way to create a holographic effect.

Yup, I had this exact same trouble some two weeks ago. I would say it's a
bug, at least compared to documentation.
Thanks for the pigment_pattern workaround!

I've been messing with this since I read the first few posts, and I've run
into some snags.
The snag is a POV-Ray error: "Illegal texture or patch in clip, bound, or
object pattern."
I want to make a whispy ghost.
I modified the BlobMan includes to remove all materials, textures, and
pigments, since POV would complain if even a simple object in a density
statement had pigments. That done, POV still complained, and I cannot
figure out why.
Since I don't think any textures are left in all of my Blobman, what does
the word "patch" mean in the error statement?

I dont know about your error, but is your man appearing or is the error
preventing you from seeing the object?

Since the three things that the error is for all require an object to have a
well defined inside or outside, I imagine a patch in this case is any object
(such as a bicubic patch) which doesn't have an inside or outside, and is
just a surface. This could also include parametric objects or meshes.

The error occurs before rendering starts.
While leaving a potential bug or misunderstanding without resolving it
isn't usually something I do, I've decided that I'm just going to make my
own approximation to a human, using merged sphered in Moray. If it's just
going to be a whispy ghost, it doesn't have to look very good when solid.

You might be hitting the same problem I had. Heres the code I used. Note
that the sphere is much bigger than the Knight object and this gives it room
to be turbulated. The Knight object was just a simple CSG object.
#declare myObject = object { Knight rotate <0,-45*2,0> };
sphere {
<0,0,0>,
10
scale <1,2,1>
texture { pigment { Clear } }
//texture { pigment { rgbt <1,0,0,1> } }
hollow
interior {
media {
emission rgb (White*.5) //.3
scattering {1, 3}
intervals 15 // default is 10
samples 1,10 // default is 1,1
method 3 // 3 was the default to be used
density {
pigment_pattern {object {myObject 0,
1}}
color_map {[0 rgb 0][1 rgb 1]}
warp {
turbulence <0,0,0>
}
}
}
}
