Cube won't render BLENDER - blender

I am using blender to make a character, but every time I add a mesh cube, it won't render. I've done several attempts to make it work, but it just won't. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem.

If you can see it in the 3d viewer but not in the render, check in the list in the Outliner where you have all your objects and see if the little camera is clicked on.
if you can't see it in the 3d viewer but you have the point try to scale using S

Render don't start in blender while using Cycles

I just appended two blender files to get my two models in one scene. when I hit Render Image. It doesn't start rendering although before appending the two files the render was working properly. I tried to render the default scene(Cube scene) in blender and it rendered. I guess the problem is not with my camera because I created a new camera and made it my active camera and still not working. all the objects appear in the viewport shading and none of them are hidden.
one more thing the GPU compute option is no longer active besides it was active before and worked with me.
I just figured out the problem. the sequencer in the output properties was checked on. to check it off go to Output Properties > Post Processing > Sequencer.
I'd just like to add my solution which bugged my mind an hour ago:
Blender has two options for rendering, which confused me at first, and might confuse others as well.
Render -> View Render will view the previous rendered image. However, if you've just opened Blender, then there's no previously rendered image of your viewport.
In order to render the viewport, you'll have to tap Render -> Render Image first. Then at a later stage you can do Render -> View Render to view that image.
I guess the same works for animations as well, first you'll need to do Render -> Render Animation to render your animation, then later do Render -> View Animation.
Encountered the same problem. Disabling the sequencer, as OP mentioned, didn't do anything. For me the problem was in the output path for animation; in Output Properties > Output.
My destination folder was moved (it was a very old project) and Blender seems to have no problem with rendering images to a folder that does not exist. However this is not the case with animation. I imagine that when rendering animation, blender uses the target folder to store rendered frames and when everything is rendered, takes the frames and makes the animation.
I do not have any insight into how blender works nor do I have experience with programming so take this as an uneducated guess.
;TLDR:
Check your destination folder, blender seems to be fine with rendering images to non existent folders. This is not the case with animations.

blender render object from multiple angles

I have an object in blender + an HDRI background / environment map. I am using cycles to render the object and I have Blender 2.8.
I would like to take multiple pictures of the rendered object (with its background) so that I end up with multiple views of the object (say, about 5/10).
I have seen some posts out there but they're not quite what I want because they just render in solid mode whereas I actually want the whole render.
I am a newbie with blender and I don't even know where to start with this. Thank you
You can just render multiple pictures by rendering, saving the image then moving the camera and repeating the process again. Or, you could render an animation with the camera moving to different angle and setting the output to an image format.

Is there any way to draw a line diagram using array of x, y co-ordinates in appcelerator?

If I select one of these co-ordinates, I want to highlight that point on the diagram (by a circle or whatever shape possible). Also I would like to save it later on.
I'm not sure if Appcelerator is flexible enough to do all these things (My search didn't yield much apart from here, this only supports Android), If not I'll have to generate this diagram in my webservice and pull it back on UI once there is an update in the co-ordinate array.
I've used Chartist inside a webview and it worked great. It produces a SVG graph instead of a canvas object which performs better.
If you want to use hyperloop you can use Ti.AndroidCharts

Usings Verold's 3ds max exporter - animation not working

If I export the max project as an .FBX it will work (HERE - the pedal depresses ok), but then I loose turbo smooth (wheel alloys) and line objects (cables) disappear (why is that btw?). Using the Verold exporter, the animation asset appears in the 'key frame animation' tab in the 'choose asset' section, but when applied it never actually animates. And yet, if I animate a simple box next to the pedal, that works (HERE).
Partial solution: It seems the problem for Verold was that the pedal's parts were grouped, it works if they are attached instead. –
To clarify, it sounds like there are three issues:
Your TurboSmooth modifier is not being applied when exporting to FBX
Your line objects are not rendering
Your animation is not playing correctly, when exported by Verold Publisher
To apply TurboSmooth when exporting to FBX, please see the following:
http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/23085/3ds-max-fbx-turbosmooth-export.html
Note that line objects are not currently supported in Verold Studio, so they will not render.
Regarding animation, when I look at your first example, I see an animated pedal. In your second example, I see an animated box. Should there be additional animated objects in either example?

Is it possible to animate markers in ArcMap?

I'm completely new to ArcGIS and ArcMap, but someone suggested this program to me for a project I'm working on.
I would like to animate individual entities on a map, and was wondering if it is possible to do so in ArcMap. I asked this earlier here and a member directed me to a tutorial on animating in ArcGIS. The animation in the guide was over a map spread (ie. each pixel on the map displays, say, a different color to indicate population data in the area). However I realized that if I zoom in a lot, eventually the image will degenerate into pixels, which is why I need an actual object to mark a certain point. I checked some online tutorials and it seems like we can place markers on the map. Can someone tell me if it is possible to animate these markers (for example via a for-loop)? And if so, could you point me in a direction where to start?
Thanks in advance!
You can animate layers in ArcMap is the short answer. Its not as simple as using the timeline feature in Google Earth for example though. But then ArcMap is much more than just a visualization tool.
This help page on the ESRI web help looks like a good place to start.
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by the image degenerates into pixels. Are you saying that the markers were single points in the layer. Unlike Google Earth you are not confined to simply plotting points on the map. You can draw completely arbitrary shapes in ArcMap, which can be defined to cover actual areas of the map, so when you zoom-in the shape gets larger.
The way you need to load data into ArcMap to produce an animation isn't too simple. There might be other ways to do this, but the way I know of is to generate a NetCDF file. This file contains a 3D matrix of layer data, where each layer is separated through time. Because you generate a matrix, you are effectively placing a raster image over the map. Thus if you want to cover a large area, each matrix becomes large, and you multiply that by the number of time slices you wish to animate over.
Once you have a NetCDF file with your data in however, getting ArcMap to animate it and produce say a .avi file is pretty simple.
You could try just loading some of the example NetCDF datasets into ArcMap to see how/if they will work to get you started.
Hope that helps.
The upcoming v10 will have better time-aware capabilities, which will allow for animation.
