If I make an object like a cloud and put it far away, it disappears in the render. Is there any tricks to fix this?

This is meant to solve this problem once and for all. What is every reason an object isn't showing up in a render or viewport in when using the cycles render engine?

Very basic question here, I am afraid.  I have hundreds of shattered pieces of a mesh and I am trying to animate their visibility over the scene.  How can I animate the visibility and render visibility parameter for one piece, then copy/transfer to all the others?

Does decimate an object helps cycles rendering faster in blender?  If we decimate the object and use smooth shading, will it render faster specially in those scenes where lightning matters the most?

Why is the selected object displaying in the 3D view, but not rendering?  In object mode, it shows up:   However, it does not show up in render mode:   Why is this so and what causes it to hide in render mode?

I am following this  on making an asteroid and when it comes to rendering the scene I get an unwanted "shadow". The shadow starts to appear in frame 36 of the render (but is clearer in frame 40) and i do not know what i have done wrong. Here is the .  The effect described here is clearly visible in the right top corner, like a polygonal darkness.

I have a project, and it has an object that has always rendered correctly, but one day when I open the project and make a test render, the object has disappeared. All the settings are normal, the object, and all of its children render display in the object outliner set to true. I really don't know what happened to it. Can someone tell me what I should look through to diagnose it? Sorry I cannot provide much detail. What I've explained is all I know. Edit: I am uploading the .blend file at  This is a Minecraft scene. It is the wolf that doesn't render. At one point it did, but now it just won't. The wolf has particle properties. I don't know if that matters, but it could. Look through all the wolf's properties to try and figure it out.

I've made a noob mistake and set up a whole scene with empty image objects.  Is it possible to convert them so they would show in the render? I know I can delete everything and start importing everything from scratch as planes, but that would take too much time to start all over again.

Can someone help me determine why my render is coming out in such low quality? I have Cycles up to 500 Render Samples, but I have no idea why it looks like it's only using one.

I created a planet in blender a while ago, and now i'm interested in adding volumetric clouds instead of using a 2D texture. I considered adding a bump node to my material, but then it would remove the realism in the image.  This is what I've created:    This is the effect I want to create:      Any thoughts?

I have a surface with particles. But I don't want to see the original object in the render. How to fix it?   Transparency, other collection / scene doesn't work.

I am kind of new to the whole animation aspect and in fact still in high school.  I am trying to make a Minecraft character rig and I want to make some 3D hair. I did not know how to quite make it so I kind of when just did something pretty simple. It isn't the greatest in any means, but any how the point is every time I render it white lines show up between objects or joined objects. I don't know how to fix this and would like help (a picture is posted below of the problem).

When I render in Cycles it turns into solid white.  I've spent the past 2 hours researching the answers to this online, mostly through this Blender Stack Exchange.    1.) All my layers are turned On 2.) My World is not emitting anything, it's just black. I have my camera facing the model (as you can see in the screenshots).   And after messing with it some.. it now renders in solid static (as seen in screenshots). Trying to upload the file now to tiny upload.. so hopefully during this weekend someone can figure this out for me. Ugh!!.. lol. Thanks so much!

I am following Andrew price's video on making clouds but my clouds are rendering with black spots on them. I have tried turning up the maximum transparency value under light paths but there is no difference between 50 and 200.  What could be causing this?

Okay, so this thing, is for me very strange. It still might be very obvious, but I started with blender 4 days ago.  So what is happening is that when I am rendering my animation, I have a white wall and ground where the scene grid is.  Here is a screenshot when in render mode:   And here it is in material mode:   I would really like to remove this, and I have tried for hours now with no success. I tried to unlink "world" from the scene but then it got all dark when rendered.  If you have any idea of what could be causing this?  (I am making an animated minecraft intro)  Edit: I was told to do alt + h and then the wall and the ground was visible in material mode as well. Here is a screenshot.    But I can't find a way to delete it...  :/

For some reason, when I render out the image, it is plain white. I've checked the sky settings, and I tried applying textures, but nothing seems to change.  How can I fix this?
