Allows to use blendModes that are not available in pure webgl implementation, such as PIXI.BLEND_MODES.OVERLAY.
Please, don't add children to sprite if you use those blendModes.
Use PIXI.picture.Sprite instead of PIXI.Sprite.
Logic: if sprite has special blendMode, push corresponding filter PIXI.picture.getBlendFilter(blendMode), if area is too small (<1px), dont draw at all.
If you want to use this with any components - just look in the source of Sprite how its done.
Assigning a filter to component directly container.filters = [PIXI.picture.getBlendFilter(blendMode)] should work too.
To be fixed: At the moment this implementation is a bit worse than v4, it uses extra pass for filter.
Enables backdropSampler uniform in filters, works only if you render stage to renderTexture or you have a filter somewhere in parents.
Sample DisplacementFilter takes everything from container and applies it as a displacement texture on backdrop.
Compatible with PixiJS 5.3.2 and up. No guarantee for earlier versions!
