Could you build this?

No Porting AMD TressFX physics and rendering to Godot 4 via GDExtension requires advanced GPU compute shader programming and custom engine graphics pipeline integration.

What it would actually take: Requires porting AMD TressFX C++ simulation libraries and HLSL compute shaders into Godot's Vulkan/DirectX 12 rendering server using GDExtension. Developers need deep expertise in strand-based hair simulation, fast GPU-based order-independent transparency (OIT), compute-based skinning, and Godot internal rendering hooks.
