What?  Do you mean scaling the entire texture w/ media or just the media or
just the density or just the....etc.?

I scaled the object to <1000, 1000, 1000> but when I added a transformation
to the density of <.001, .001, .001> the media disappeared completely.
I think I understand your concept but I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed
to be transforming.
