A little tip I thought I'd share.
I've built a few compositions and made connections to the Render Scene / Image To Window node. Then I've found myself going back to that composition and bang my head on the table when I want to use the composition in other host apps. Which means I need to publish an Image, not a Window.
After doing this a few times I've started to add a "null" Combine 3D Objects / Combine Layers to my comps. That way I don't have to rebuild the scene if I choose to output to a window or an image. See reference image attached.

Cool, thanks for the tip!
Cool, thanks for the tip! Maybe we can share this in a future newsletter.
I also like to hook up a
Share Valuenode to the Requested Frame port of aRender Scene to Windownode in case I ever want to switch toRender Layers to Window, or vice versa. And if I drag theShare Valuenode over to the far left of the composition, it neatens up the time cables so they're straight instead of loopy.I'm all for sharing tips in
I'm all for sharing tips in the newsletter. I'll give the Share Value node a try, as the render node is usually nowhere near data driver ports in my comps, good tip.
