Soft particles

[korner-brazers]

Hi guys, I was looking for soft particles for my project, but I did not find anything on that.

Having spent a little time and energy, I still managed to make soft particles and decided to suggest introducing it into the library as a plug-in or something like that.

All the code and how it works I wrote here.

It would be cool if you could do so

material.soft = true;
material.softDistance = 50;

But the problem as I understand that it will be necessary to constantly render the texture of the depth.
It is possible to make a condition for rendering

renderer.softRender = true;

I think there is little change, you can add it to the library :)

This is very nice! Would you like to do a PR?

Well it's been 7+ years and this would still be very useful, there are no already implemented alternatives so far afaik.
