    I was wondering if there is a way to make my translucent materials actually render that way with Sketch & Toon. I have found that although the material color changes when you tweak the tranparency slider, you can’t actually see through it at all.

    Thanks!

    Go into Render>Effects>Sketch & Tune, and set object shading to “Off”. Should do the trick.

    That did the trick! Thank you very much!

    reving a nearly 7 year old thread here, but i’m having trouble getting the lines in the back of my transparent object to show through the transparency. For example, I have a 50% transparent rectangle, and the line shading is working for all the edges facing the camera on the outside of the rectangle, but when you look through it, you don’t see the lines in the back of the rectangle, further away from the camera.

    you need to use the Default Hidden material in Render Settings/Sketch and Toon/Lines – you need to make (copy and paste or whatever) a second S&T material with different settings (less Opacity and/or different colour) to use as the hidden line material – you can use one material in both slots but the lines (both in front and back) will all be the same, which is ok of technical drawings but not good here so you’d need a second S&T mat.
