Your image alpha channel must be used for the mix factor between the transparent area and the color information (diffuse). So, just connect the Alpha output of the image node to the factor input of your Mix Shader node. This makes it so that only the parts of the image that are transparent are actually appear as transparent.

Just a proposal. Unfortunately we don't know you node tree for your tree planes.

Node tree example.

  • $\begingroup$ May I see your tree image in blender please? Maybe it has no alpha? actually it should work like described. What do you see as result after using my proposal? $\endgroup$

This may be caused by a translucent shader.

What that shader does, is when light is coming from behind an object, the object gets lit. This could cause that effect, because the other trees are blocking the light coming from the back.

Perhaps you accidentally used a translucent shader instead of a transparent shader?

Please share node setup if you would like a clear answer, as it is hard to answer with this information.

Also check out Andrew's shader encyclopedia for info on those shaders, and more. http://www.blenderguru.com/articles/cycles-shader-encyclopedia/

  • $\begingroup$ Hmmm. I'm not sure. If you upload the .blend file it might help, but maybe not. Are you using Internal or Cycles? Where is your light? Are you just using world lighting? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I'm not sure what's wrong with yours... I honestly don't know why anything is showing up at all with your node setup. The transparent should be going into the top of the mix, and the diffuse into the bottom. If you change them that may fix it. There is just something weird going on. I have a feeling it has to do with the alpha mask for your trees being only partial, and partly off. I duplicated your scene (with mix flipped) and it works fine for me. If you want more help, you really need to upload the blend file. $\endgroup$

There is a slight problem with your node setup.

  • First, flip the inputs to the mix shader.
  • Next, plug the color from the texture into the diffuse shader.
  • Finally, change the color of the transparent shader to pure white.

Increase the bounces for transparency in the light paths section: enter image description here
