How would you make a Hologram material?

Development Rendering

Hey guys!

I was trying to create a hologram style material for a sort of NPC.

This is what I would like to achieve:

The problem is that translucent materials renders like this:

I think it would be easier working with pixel shaders… but I didn’t find anything about it in documentation, neither the forums.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!
