Thanks for reading.  I started sculpting a mesh and noticed I wasn't in Cycles. After switching, the object no longer appears in the final render or in Render View. The object shows up just fine in the other 3D view options.  Things I have checked:  - The object is selected for viewing in the Outliner.   - The shaders are linked to the Material Output and Alpha is set to 1.  - Viewed by camera in cycles is checked in the Object tab.  If anyone knows a solution to this issue or the reason behind it, the info would be greatly appreciated.  Update: Image as requested. Camera is checked and in position. Shader and Texture Nodes Connected to Object's Material Output. 3 Point lighting using soft hemi's. All objects (even lamps currently, sigh) are on same layer.
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?

E.g.  .css OurColor: Blue  H1 {   color:OurColor; } Flight reservation for Schengen visa One of the necessary documents for a Schengen visa for non EU citizens is proof of your flights, but it doesn't state the actual (e-)tickets (for which I already paid), or the reservation of flights.  So my question is, which option would be more acceptable (if I can provide any of them) to provide printed tickets to an EU member embassy or reservation of flights (reservation does not expect payment)? Prologue:  This is an effort to follow up on  which is marked as a duplicate of  highly voted and status-declined feature request (although they seem to be different, one focusing on the OP and the other on the downvoter).   My New Year's resolution was to downvote more.  So on January 3rd or so, I saw a post that was low quality, and downvoted.  Two days later, I came back to see if it was ready to be deleted or had gotten piled with downvotes, to find it with a significant positive score!  At which point, I noticed that the answer had been significantly improved.  So I retracted my downvote, changed it to an upvote, and immediately resumed my dearth of downvoting again.  I think I have a responsibility to downvote bad posts, despite that oh-so-painful -1 rep penalty.  But if I am also going to have the responsibility to follow up on every downvote I cast, I'm not going to bother. I don't want my downvote to leave a residual penalty on posts that were once low quality, and I am not going to trouble myself to keep checking up on every post I downvoted.  Can a downvoter have an option to be notified when a post they voted down was edited?  I wouldn't make this an automatic thing, because not all downvoters want it, and it isn't applicable to all cases of downvoting (although  that this should be part of the responsibility of a downvoter).  Personally, I would make this a universal toggle on-off option on the user profile page, not a question-by-question option, but I don't have strong feelings about it. I'm on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) with Mojave 10.14.1. When I connect MBP to a external displays (either via HDMI or via Thunderbolt 2 adapters), the temperature raises sensibly (i.e., CPU temperature lies constantly over 90°) and fans start running fast (i.e., more than 50%) frequently, even if I am doing very simple tasks (e.g., writing in Word with a couple of Chrome tabs open with stackoverflow).  I'm not sure that the problem started with Mojave or if it isn't actually related to the OS version.  I'm wondering if there is a way to limit this annoying overheating as well as fans activity, while using external monitors. As stated above, I can't connect to my home wi-fi with natty but can with Windows 7. The strange thing is I that I have gotten it to connect to other password protected networks with natty, it's just mine that it dosn't like.   I am using a WPA2 pass-code with AES Encryption and all other devises work fine on my network. Laptop used is a Dell Latitude D430. Foreign words reborrowed back into English Wikipedia mentions several English words that have been :   Anime comes from animation and has been reborrowed into English to mean Japanese-style animation. Puroresu comes from professional wrestling and is a term for Japanese-style professional wrestling. Kosupure comes from cosplay (an abbreviation of costume play) and refers to the practice of dressing in costumes of anime and video game characters.    Do you know other examples of word reborrowings from Japanese or other languages back into English, or vice versa? Expression Versus Statement I'm asking with regards to c#, but I assume its the same in most other languages.  Does anyone have a good definition of expressions and statements and what the differences are? Recently, I was wondering how division of aleph numbers would work. First, I thought about how finite cardinality division would work. What I came up with was that the result of $A/B$ where $A$ and $B$ are both cardinalities, is the number of times that each element of $B$ had to be mapped to an element of $A$ in order to ensure that all elements of $A$ were mapped to.  Extending this to aleph numbers, specifically, I thought that $\aleph_1/\aleph_0$ would be $\aleph_1$. The reasoning behind this is that there are an infinite ($\aleph_1$) number of real numbers between any two natural numbers. As such, that mapping would need to be applied.  Can anyone validate this idea? Is this how division of aleph numbers actually works, or am I totally off base?  Thanks. Problem:  $F = \frac{(G m_1 m_2)}{r^2}$  An object of unknown mass is placed directly between the Earth and the Moon such that the forces of gravity acting on the object are equal from both the Earth and the Moon. The distance from the Moon to the object is exactly one-tenth of the distance from the Moon to Earth. Using the above formula, determine the distance from the Moon to the Earth.  Given is:  The factor $G≈6.67∙10−11\mathbf{N(\frac{m^2}{kg^2})}$ is a universal constant.  Mass of Earth $≈5.972∙10^{24}\mathbf{kg}$   Mass of the Moon as $≈7.348∙10^{22}\mathbf{kg}$  Mass of unknown object = $m$  My solution:  $F = \frac{(6.67 *10^-11) m (7.348*10^{24})}{R^2}$  $F = \frac{(6.67 *10^-11) (5.92* 10^22) m}{10R^2}$  As gravitational force acting on the object is equal   $\frac{(5.92\cdot 10^22)}{100r^2} = \frac{(7.348*10^{24})}{r^2}$  $R = 1.24 \cdot 10^4 KM$  Is this a viable solution to the problem? Please provide feedback. Thank you! Evaluating the indefinite integral $ \int \sqrt{\tan x} ~ \mathrm{d}{x}. $ I have been having extreme difficulties with this integral. I would appreciate any and all help. $$ \int \sqrt{\tan x} ~ \mathrm{d}{x}. $$ If $F_n$ is the $n$-th fibonacci number, then prove that, $$F_n={n-1 \choose 0 }+{n-2 \choose 1 }+{n-3 \choose 2 }+\ldots$$  I tried the idea of using Pascal's triangle, but it seems to need some adjustment, so I am stuck, please help.    Any combinatorial argument would be of greater help than rigorous proof.  Thank you. Why is there a peeking duck in my profile pic? In , you may see something odd: a peeking duck.    I've just recently uploaded this new profile picture of mine. I checked it after the upload and everything's fine. After a few hours, I opened my profile and there it is, the duck has somehow become afraid of the people viewing it.  Is this a bug, a feature, or is it just the duck?  I am about to re-upload my profile pic, but I've decided to drop first this topic to meta.  And if you're curious,  is the original picture.    ADDITIONAL: I've used the non-gravatar way to upload the picture.  ADDITIONAL 2: The problem only shows in the profile view. No problem in chat, less info profile view, and in the questions and answers.  UPDATE: Re-uploaded picture. Status normal (for now, at least). Use of 100K ohm resistor along with 0.1uF capacitor? In the circuit diagram below, why is there a 100K&Omega; resistor (NOT R2) connected to the capacitor? To my understanding the capacitor-resistor act as a high pass filter to block the DC offset of the microphone, but since only the capacitor blocks DC why is the 100k resistor used? According to the author of the video (link below) he said, the 100k is used "not to overload the microphone's un-amplified output". I don't get this part.  Also, can only a capacitor be used in this circuit or any other circuit without the 100k resistor? Why do the less than symbol () appear wrong as upside down exclamation (¡) or question mark (¿)? How do I rollback a TFS check-in? I'd like to rollback a change I made recently in TFS. In Subversion, this was pretty straightforward.  However, it seems to be an incredible headache in TFS: Option 1: Get Prior Version  Manually get prior version of each file Check out for edit Fail - the checkout (in VS2008) forces me to get the latest version  Option 2: Get TFS Power Tools  Download Team Foundation Power Tools Issue rollback command from cmd line Fail - it won't work if there are any other pending changes  Option 3: Manually Undo Changes  manually undo my changes, then commit a new changeset  Question How do I rollback to a previous changeset in TFS? Let users editing a question know if editing it would add it to the reopen queue This is sort of similar to , which was positively received, but was declined for technical reasons. I propose that users who are editing a post that was closed within the last five days be shown a notice on top of the edit form indicating that the post will be added to the reopen queue if edited, and that if one does not plan on editing the post into a state where it can be reopened, one should wait until five days after closure to make the edit. Closed questions are only added to the review queue once per closure by editing, and if a user comes by and makes a minor (yet benign) edit, the diff that reopen reviewers see is just that of the minor edit, and as such they dismiss the task as &quot;Leave Closed&quot;, which prevents it from being added to the queue again by another edit. This deprives the post author (and others interested in seeing the question reopened) of their chance to get the post reopened by editing. While some of these edits may be performed by users using (semi-)automated tools who would thus not see or overlook the warning, this will be a big help because 99%+ of users make edits solely manually and would thus see and possibly respond to such a notice. To help make this request more technically feasible, I propose that it instead only be loaded with the edit form, and that it should only be shown to users who can make binding edits. (Suggested edits occur at the time of approval, and the request to let the reviewers know has already been declined.) Here's an example of what I'm expecting:  This question was recently [closed/marked as duplicate]. This question will be added to a queue for possible reopening if you make this edit. If you are not planning to edit this post into a state where it can be reopened, please wait until [date and time after 70 days] to make your edit. If you are only making edits to the question's tags, please ignore this notice. ArgumentNullException or NullReferenceException from extension method? What would you consider to be the best exception type to throw when an extension method is called on a null instance (where the extension method does not allow it)? Since extension methods are nothing but static methods you could argue that it should be ArgumentNullException, but on the other hand they're used like instance methods so it might be more natural to use the NullReferenceException. Let's take the following example:  public static string ToInvariantString(this IFormattable value, string format) {     return value.ToString(format, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); }   This way a NullReferenceException will be thrown if the value parameter is null.   The other example would be:  public static string ToInvariantString(this IFormattable value, string format) {     if (value == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("value");     return value.ToString(format, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); }   EDIT: In some of the answers you have pointed out that an extension methods can be called like a static method and in those cases a null reference exception would be wrong, which is a great point, and actually one of my concerns, not sure why I forgot to mention that in the question in the first place.   Someone also pointed out that it's wrong to throw a NullReferenceException, and yes, it is. That's why I don't throw it, I just let it happen (let the CLR throw it) by not guarding the method.  I think I favor the ArgumentNullException (that's what I've use so far) but I still think there is at least room to argue for an against the NullReferenceException since it seems more natural in most places where the method is going to be used.
