(sorry for mailing this to you patrick! :-)


Thanks for asking!

I model and render the scene as normal. Then make all the objects white and
100% transparent with high ambient and diffuse finishes (3-4 ish). Remove
any floor and sky and set a white background. When rendered, the image
should be completely white. Then I add a post-process filter, "find_edges"
to the global_settings block and render. Then tweak as necessary. :-)

If I get a chance, I will post the code.
