Scattering media assume that any ray interact at most once with the 
material. Adding many media or density, as well as increasing the 
density, don't change that assumption.

Using the version 3.7 beta, you can use the SSLT feature, but, here, you 
have the opposite assumption: Each ray is assumed to interact a very 
large number of times with the material.

Actualy, there is no middle ground. There is no model for more than 1 
and less that 1000+ interactions.
