Well, I might understand your question wrong, but look it up under "Using
Transparent Pigments and Layered Textures" in the Pov-Ray Documentation (it
is in the tutorial). Basically use rgbt <redcol,greencol,bluecol, transmit>
or rgbf <redcol,greencol,bluecol, filter> in the pigment{}-statement, with
"transmit" or "filter" set to something greater than 0. A value of 1 means
the object is fully transparent,

HTH,

Please fix your newsreader so it doesn't encode iso-8859-1 as base64.
Thanks.

Perhaps you should have also said what's the difference between transmit
and filter.

Perhaps I should have done, but I could not imagine how to say it more
accurate as the mentioned part of the docs do - filter filters the light,
while transmittance let the light pass unchanged, doesn't it?

  Not exactly. The light passes unchanged only if transmit is 1. If it's
less than 1 then it changes the light.

Well, I knew why I didn't say what the difference of the two are in my first
post:-)
But okay, with Transmittance the intensity of the light passing through is
changed according to the chosen transmit-value but not it's colour.
