Figured I'd document the journey of this as I try and get it ported over - and ask questions while doing so.

What's needed to convert this script:
Render a picture to the screenGet the screen's render outputOffset the screen's render output and mix it inSet blend modeAccess Z coordinates- Add plugin commands for mutability
Fix zoom center offset- Refactor for performance
Reduction of the existing 12 assets into a smaller set of assets due to the 15 overlays maximum limitation making things such as menus fail to appear.Fixing glitchy behavior with text boxes.
