desinc: there's a shader, edge_transparency, that quickly does it, but my suggestion is a way to do lightsaber in fprime, so.. no shaders. but we can simulate it throught gradients.
edge_transparency is similar (in concept) to fast_fresnel: those shaders quickly apply specific surface properties to some channels, and their effect can be done with gradients too.
