Bill's 2006 IRTC entry for Absence is one of the best, IMO.

I tried to emulate it but found it too difficult to do. So in 2008 I 
used a different method for the Wizard animation challenge. Described here:

The problem with making CSG or mesh models transparent, is the internal 
parts show when it is partly transparent.
It just looks a mess.
