Detailed Description

A simple field function scaling node.

The field of the child node is scaled by a constant scaling factor.

Note that this operation is different than scaling the primitive with a TreeFrame node, which scales the geometry instead.

This node is usefull when performing cross-dissolving effects between two models.

Implementaiton note: since the node shares exactly the same box as its sub-tree, we do not perform box checks in member functions; they will be done by the sub-tree.
