I plot a figure like:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/7/3/739f5896981e2f75816d5ecd82ffa0969a07d2ed.jpeg)  
How to disable the reverse lighting at those points?  
The picture is generated by codes like:

```julia
second(x) = x[2]
fig = Figure()
axes = LScene(fig[1, 1])
for i in eachindex(points)
    scatter!(axes, first.(points), second.(points), last.(points))
end
fig

```

That’s not light but artifacts from the ordering:

Thanks a lot！ Set

```julia
scatter!(..., fxaa=true)

```

works.
