Inspired after his daughter bought him books on the subject of écorchés at La Specola in Florence, director Paul Verhoeven enlisted special effects supervisor Scott E. Anderson to create a three-dimensional digital model of the inside of Kevin Bacon's body, to create the "transformation scene" where Sebastian becomes invisible. New volume-rendering software was required just to replicate the inside of Bacon's body. The scene depicts Sebastian disappearing in stages. First, his skin, followed by his muscles, organs (including his lungs and heart) and finally, his skeleton. Bacon detailed the complications of his role in a diary that he kept while filming and believed the "sense of isolation, anger and suffering" that he felt while wearing the mask and body suit helped his performance.
