I cheated. It just doesn't calculate the glow amount information outside 
of a certain radius(though it still has to do some of the calculations 
to find the distance). If you choose a radius that is too small, you get 
a sudden circular transition from glow to nothing.
Type 2 glows are finite, though, and I will probably add another two 
finite types.
