The radialField node implements a radial field. A radial field pushes objects away from a point (if the magnitude is positive) or pulls them toward it (if the magnitude is negative). The type attribute determines how the attentuation parameter is to be applied to reduce the magnitude as a functionof distance.

type of radial field (0, 1, or in between) Controls how the max distance interacts with attenuation. Value 0 smooths magnitude to zero as you approach max distance. Value 1 ignores max distance, giving an immediate drop-off to zero when you reach max distance. In between you get a blend.
