    Hi, I’m wondering if anyone knows how i can go about doing this. I would like an object, like a box, to have the edges of sketch and toon (such as folds and crease,etc.) but i want the object itself to be transparent. I’ve tried to use a matte color and then key it out in After Effects but it looks pretty crappy. very aliased, etc. Is there a way i can do it in cinema? I just want an outlined image.
    thanks in advance,

    put a alpha texture on the object then either go to Render Settings/Sketch and Toon/Shading and turn Object to Off or if you want some normal S&T and some alpha S&T put a Sketch Render Tag on the object and go to Shading there and turn Object to Off

    That works if you are using an image (or any kind of texture) on an object – you get the normal texture plus the S&T lines
