I'm doing just a basic setup using an environment node with an hdr file and a object but when I render its still in the panoramic view and it seems the background isn't rendering aswell what can be the issue.
I'd like to use a background image for my world, but I'm not sure how to do it.   Right now I am using the sun as a lightpoint and it looks like sky and a flat plane (not realistic). I was thinking of just using a mountain background image for the world.  I've done that through textures etc. but I don't see ANYTHING in render even though it shows in worlds?  What am I doing wrong?    Also what's a cheap quick fix for cases like mine so it looks like the world isn't JUST blue sky?  Thanks guys!
Non-finite clause complementation of complex transitive verbs This question has been bothering me for a while. It came up when I was reading Chapter 16 of "A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language."   How to explain the grammatical structure of the following four sentences?    "We knew him to be a spy." "I saw her leave the room." "I heard someone shouting." "I got the watch repaired."    What category do the four non-finite clauses in boldface fall into? They do not seem to fall into any of relative, nominal, comparative and adverbial clauses. How to automatically fetch missing dependencies when installing software from .deb? I'm trying to install  on my Ubuntu box (11.04). The website has a Ubuntu .deb available for download (for 10.10 and 10.04 so I chose 10.10).   However,   sudo dpkg -i mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.34-1ubu1010-amd64.deb   yields:  (Reading database ... 194069 files and directories currently installed.)

(Or alternatively, is there some other way to get MySQL Workbench easily up &amp; running?) As you are all most likely aware already all domain registrars ask for your personal information.   Such personal information includes:   Forename and surname Address information Email address Telephone number   Personal information via WHOIS  Depending on the domain type such as  or  this information may become immediately available after the registration of the domain via a simple whois. If you do not want that (and in most cases you certainly don't) they offer a service where you can remove this information from the whois service but of course hiding your personal information adds yearly costs to the domain  purchase.  What happens if I use fake details when registering a domain? How do I calculate the determinant of the following $n\times n$ matrices  $$\begin {bmatrix} 0 &amp; 1 &amp; \ldots &amp; 1 \\ 1 &amp; 0 &amp; \ldots &amp; 1 \\ \vdots &amp; \vdots &amp; \ddots &amp; \vdots \\ 1 &amp; 1 &amp; ... &amp; 0 \end {bmatrix}$$  and the same matrix but one of columns replaced only with $1$s?  In the  above matrix all off-diagonal elements are $1$ and diagonal elements are $0$. How to organically merge nested associations? My primary server with SQL Server 2005 broke down, so I've started up the log-shipped database on the secondary server. The database is live on the secondary server, and I just need to remove the log shipping settings for it, while the primary server is no longer accessible.  It seems that the sp_delete_log_shipping_secondary_database stored procedure should be executed on the secondary server to do this, which "removes a secondary database and removes the local history and remote history", as it is stated on .  Would this also remove the database itself? Or only the log shipping settings for it? And what will it do when the primary server is not accessible?  I must not loose the database on the secondary server, as it is already in use. If I have a native C++ windows program (i.e. the entry point is WinMain) how do I view output from console functions like std::cout? A friend of mine was trying to explain to me how all infinities are equal. For example, they were saying that there are the same amount of numbers between $0$–$1$ as there are between $0$–$2$.  The way they explained it, you could prove that there are the same amount of numbers by getting a match to each number.  For example, for any number in the range from $0$–$2$, you can find a matching number in the range $0$–$1$ by dividing the number by 2. In every case, the ending number will end up between $0$–$1$. In addition, if you multiplied any number in the range of $0$–$1$ by 2, you will always end up with a number between $0$–$2$ Therefore, there should be the same infinite amount of numbers between  $0$–$1$ as there are between $0$–$2$.  Is this principle accurate? The problem that I had with it was, if in-fact there are the same amount of numbers between 0 and 1 as there are between 0 and 2, why is 2 greater than 1? Does Windows log programs that have been run/called? Purge unused data (e.g. particle system, or groups) by script How can I completely remove a objects (e.g. particle system or groups used in particle systems) in blender using python?  The problem is this: I have a script, with which I create a scene (e.g. adding some normal objects and some group of objects with a particle system). For a research study I would like to repeat that that several times, without restarting blender. So I can create a scene, delete everything, e.g. with a script like this:  import bpy scn = bpy.context.scene for obj in scn.objects:     obj.select = True bpy.ops.object.delete()   If I rerun the script to recreate the scene with objects using particle system, the latter is not shown in the scene anymore (only the placeholders of the particle system). Now I'm not sure where exactly the problem lies, but I guess not everything is immediately deleted, running the script above. Only the startup of blender helps (but that's not what I want) or pushing the purge button. The purge button seems to start the command:  bpy.ops.outliner.orphans_purge()   But I can't get this piece of code to run in the console. It says that "the context is incorrect". Is there a way to purge the unused data by python script? Thanks a lot for any help. How to format a disk/sdcard as FAT32 in windows 10 Calculate sum of squares of first $n$ odd numbers Is there an analytical expression for the summation $$1^2+3^2+5^2+\cdots+(2n-1)^2,$$ and how do you derive it? Find all solutions to $x^2\equiv 1\pmod {91},\ 91 = 7\cdot 13$ Let $M_n$ denote the vector space of all $n\times n$ real valued matrices and for any matrix $A\in M_n$ let $A^t$ denote its transpose. Define the linear map $T:M_n\rightarrow M_n$ as $$T(A)=A+A^t.$$ What is the minimal polynomial of $T$? What are the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenspaces of $T$? What is the characteristic polynomial of $T$?  I learned about minimal polynomials of operators from $\textit{Linear Algebra Done Right}$ by Axler. In his description he explains how in order to find the minimal polynomial you must find the smallest positive integer $m$ such that $T^m$ is a linear combination of $I, T, T^2, \ldots, T^{m-1}$. That is, the smallest integer $m$ such that $$T^m = a_0I+a_1T+a_2T^2+ \cdots +a_{m-1}T^{m-1}.$$  As for the eigenvalues...since we are working with real-valued matrices, then $A$ and $A^t$ have the same eigenvalues, so if $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ is an eigenvalue of $A$ (and hence of $A^t$) wouldn't $2\lambda$ be an eigenvalue of $A+A^t$? I apologize if I am saying utter nonsense... Solve the second order ODE $(2x^2 + 1)y'' − 4xy' + 4y = 0$ I need help solving this past exam question, the professor posted exam questions with out solutions to last year's exam, I tried reduction of order, however that seemed to complicate things. And then I tried Euler-Cauchy method however I realized that won't work due to the $(2x^2 + 1)y''$.  Given $y_1=x$ is a solution $$(2x^2 + 1)y'' − 4xy' + 4y = 0$$ Find the second solution $y_2$ for equation. I want to install a portable Tex Live in windows 10. But after searching online I just get this from .  The -portable installer option (or V command in the text installer or corresponding GUI option) creates a completely self-contained TEX Live installation under a common root and forgoes system integration. You can create such an installation directly on a USB stick, or copy it to a USB stick afterwards. To run TEX using this portable installation, you need to add the appropriate binary directory to the search path during your terminal session, as usual. On Windows, you can double-click tl-tray-menu at the root of the installation and create a temporary ‘tray menu’ offering a choice of a few common tasks, as shown in this . The ‘More…’ entry explains how you can customize this menu.  Any more instructions in detail? What should I do? Is there any way to bring an egg to its natural state (not boiled) after you cook it? This is probably a stupid question, but I'm curious now after I opened the refrigerator looking for eggs to make a cake and there was only one and it was cooked. Is there any way to undo that, whether at home or an industrial way? Can python be used to edit a Text Object? That is, can python code replace, for example, a single letter in a Text Object or insert a letter or string into a Text Object.  Note that I'm not talking about replacing a Text Object with some updated string, such as, object.text = "new string". I'm thinking more about having access to the Text cursor (not the mouse cursor) and positioning it on some letter that I'd like to replace.  In other words, I'd like to have the same capability during BGE play that I have when altering a Text Object in the edit mode. Converse to Chinese Remainder Theorem So as seen on this question , we know that if $(n,m) \neq 1$, then $\mathbb{Z} /mn \mathbb{Z} \ncong \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$, because the right hand side does not have an element of order $nm$.  But take a more general setting. Let $R$ be a commutative ring, and let $A,B$ be ideals in $R$. $A$ and $B$ are said to be comaximal if $A+B=R$. If $A, B$ are comaximal, then we have: $R/AB \cong R/A \times R/B$. In this setup, is the converse true?      If we have $A, B$ ideals in $R$ such that $R/AB \cong R/A \times R/B$, do we always have that $A$ and $B$ are comaximal? My application listens on port 8180.
