How to correctly display trees in ArcScene?

Question

The first image is a screenshot of the view in ArcScene. I am trying to export this scene to a tif or jpg. The scene is composed of the following layers:

A raster
Three polygon layers displayed as outlines only
One transparent polygon layer
A point layer displayed as trees based on height values within the point attribute table.

When I export the scene to a jpg or tif, the resulting error image is shown below with the gray overlay. I was able to isolate the problem though--it appears the export works for everything except the points (displayed as trees). If I export the scene with the points not displayed as tree, this also works. Where am I going wrong? How can I resolve the issue so that the trees are displayed correctly?

@KevinMayall Unfortunately, none of the formats seem to support transparent polygons. — Aaron, Jan 16 '13 at 22:43

Try to convert polygons to lines.
