   If you scale UP the container, you have to scale DOWN the media strength!
Just try .05 instead 1338181 and you will see the effect... I just tried it
and works.

   Indeed, I don't recall where on the docs I read it, but I seem to remember
that filter/transmit on density maps has no effect (or at least not the
effect you think it will have).
