I didn't forget any filtering...

I very rarely use partially transparent textures. If I want something 
transparent or translucent, I use "rgbf 1" and use media (absorbing for 
clear objects, absorbing and scattering for translucent ones) or 
fade_color to color it. This gives the most realistic results: thin 
parts are nearly colorless. It is how things work in reality...a colored 
block of glass isn't a colored, infinitely thin surface that transmits 
light the same no matter how much glass it passes through.
