Research direction

Start with the scatter3d documentation example shown in the issue and reproduce the behavior using different marker.size values. Trace the scatter3d rendering entry point to determine why varying sizes enables transparency. Done means marker size varies without unexpectedly turning on transparency, with the documentation example still rendering correctly.
