A decent 3D engine needs to fufill the needs of the application in which its being used for. Randomly adding features just to bump up the engine spec isn''t exactly helpful in many cases. Aim for what you must have, and be sure to keep things flexible to add things on later if the need springs up.

partition the model or use a shadow algorithm which can self shadow such as shadow Z buffers, stencil shadow volumes etc.
