In addition to that, if your object seems fuzzy at the edges (might
happen no matter how dense the media inside it is), or if the shadow
is too soft and gives away the media inside, put an opaque
interior_texture to your object - best use the same as the exterior
texture sans the filter/transmit. For more detail and some examples,
see http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/28847/ (shameless
