>>>...three layers with equal intensity: layer 1 (the lowest):
transparency=0   layer 2 (in the middle): transparency=.5   layer 3 (at the
top):    transparency=.333

sure, but works only from 1 direction ;-)
Because of this i said "play with transparency and alpha". It is not
optimal, but a nice (and official) workaround. Your lighting is a good idea.

Regards.
