More realistic lighting and mesh streaming

[FSlolhehe]

Hello. I'd like to see...
-Physics that enable realistic movable hair, realistic movable fur, realistic movement of clothes, realistic/simulation vehicle movement, realistic water/fluid simulation, realistic fire, realistic smoke, realistic destruction, flesh simulation, and realistic particle movement.

-Software ray-traced lighting (Similar to Unreal Engine's Lumen and Pascal Gilcher's RTGI) that comes in 2 forms: global illumination and reflections.

-And, finally, mesh streaming (Similar to Unreal Engine's Nanite).

Update: I've struck through software ray-traced lighting and mesh streaming as I've been told that there's already a proposal for mesh streaming and that there's already software ray-traced lighting in Godot, and, for the same reason, I've changed the title. The original title was "More realistic physics, more realistic lighting, and mesh streaming".

Update 2: I've also struck through the "Physics" part of my list, and I will rename this discussion from "More realistic physics" to "More realistic lighting and mesh streaming" and close this discussion. The reason? Nobody talked about the physics part, so I will start a new discussion about the physics part instead.

Regarding software raytraced lighting, it's already present in Godot in the form of VoxelGI and SDFGI. They provide both GI and reflections. There is also a PR replacing SDFGI with HDDAGI, although it's currently stalled.

There's already a proposal for mesh streaming: #2793

@Calinou I see. What about the physics? I find the physics in Godot lackluster, compared to other engines' physics and especially to Chaos Physics in Unreal Engine, which has realistic water physics (Which Epic calls "fluid simulation"), realistic vehicle physics, realistic destruction physics, flesh simulation, and hair physics.

There is also a PR replacing SDFGI with HDDAGI, although it's currently stalled.

Any idea why it's currently stalled?

Please see the PR, it's explained there
