Bug report

Bug summary

The shading of the voxels when using alpha looks off, when they overlap, shades seem to cancel each other out.

Code for reproduction

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

test_data = np.array(
      [[[ 0.005,  0.005],
        [ 0.000,  0.035]],

       [[ 0.005,  0.000],
        [ 0.005,  0.010]]])
alphas = np.divide(test_data,np.max(test_data))/2.0

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

GIven the data source, I would have expected a result more like this, which was produced with the code found at
