This is what I get with the alpha with Skydome camera visibility set to 0.

This is what I see when I open the EXR/TIF etc in Photoshop:

Hello.

Im sorry to restart this thread.

So I've been researching this issue for quite some time now but I really cant find a solution to this.

I am using the toon shaders of Arnold, and they are amazing! Only problem is that the only opaque components are the edges/silhouettes. See below.

tried it with other shaders, but to no avail.

I am also using the aiClipGeo shader, could this be a problem?

This is a completely different question.

You'll have to put the edges in a separate AOV: https://docs.arnoldrenderer.com/x/kYA7B
