Enhanced 2D and 3D particle system & tooling

[ghost]

It's a wild suggestion so feel free to ignore, but having more types of particle emitters would probably be cool. (It's also weird there isn't already a ticket for that, but I guess good particle effects are generally underestimated in games.)

Like beam emitters with startpos, endpos, trails, trail-fading, beam-fading and intense and zappynes (like for lightening bolts) parameters, or mesh emitters.

For example, check out this video.

As for the editor, a tool/stamp to group emitters would be awesome where included emitters could auto-inherit some parameters like lifetimes from. Imagine that for explosions, where you typically have fire, sparks, smoke and debris particles.

Note that I'm not even using Godot atm; I just think it would be a really cool feature to have for a game engine and it's probably a PITA to add manually afterwards. So if you got the time and motivation, why not.

+1 on this, I implemented non linear beams with collision support on my game using polygons + raycast

But I would love a similar solution with particles and collision like the unreal one, also should be less resource intensive than my approach
