Set up some layers and an “is point within layer” node and some way to react on it.
Publish the “Rendered Layers” input port(s).
Connect layers to “Combine Layers With Transform” node.
Publish layer output from “Combine Layers With Transform”.
Store to node library
Create a new composition
Use the newly created node from the library, and connect it to a “Render Layers to Window” node.
Observe high resource usage through the activity monitor.
How did the result differ from what you expected?
High resource usage.
Have you found a workaround?
Connect “Rendered Layers” output port from “Render Layers to Window” to a “Hold” node before connecting to desired input port in custom node.
Other notes
Vuo version: 1.2.0
macOS version: OS X 10.10
Publishing layers directly without the use of a “Combine Layers With Transform” node will warn about a feedback loop, and prevent connection without the hold node.
Thanks, is there also a difference in using “receive mouse buttons” to the “check mouse status” one? With this loop in place Vuo crashed quite frequently.
