try just makeing a plain black material and lowering the transparence so its slightly see though.. or make a black material with a hint of grey in there? and fade that. dunno realy just giving ideas

I think u can also use raytrace. Adjust the opacity and u can get a near perfect one. I don't know any other methods. I think this should work.
