Back Since we are at it... I find the gradient texture approach clunky.
In a new pass just use a scalar state node set to ray length and a change range and you are good to go, no projections or groups and all done in a single partitions.
You can even link the change range parameters to the radius of spheres or to nulls, so you get in-scene control of the depth interval.

Or just render out a depth pass. Either use the built in Xsi one or do it by putting a grad texture on the whole scene. Put all the scene geometry in a group, put a texture projection and material on the group. It's a whole lot easier to control than the builtin depth pass and for me, zdepth is a waste of time.
