Arnold Toon Shader and transparency? 2023! is that a joke

[moussidawae]

its a shame that a powerful render engine such as arnold doesn't even have transparency in both toon shader and flat shader, we work with textures and alphas all the time and a shader without them is completely useless. 

and using transmission as a transparency remove base color and sheen ... its just doesn't work Dx Dx

As a workaround, what about the solution suggested in https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-shading-lighting-and/opacity-glitching-with-arnold-toon/td-p/103... of sending the toon output to another shader that can do opacity?

thanks a lot, i was having a nightmare trying to figrout how to solve opacity of toon shader even i was thinking to leave arnold and move to blender for rendering, I appreciate your help so much.
