I have the problem, that all my object look very unrealistic, even with shaders on them. I broke the problem down to copying a template object to my Blender file. In the original, it looks very realistic, but after copying to my project, it also looks like crap. I guess, that this has to do something with my world or render settings. Can someone help me fixing this problem?
I am trying to render a kitchen sink / Faucet    Here is another reference image of what I want   What I have got so far is this   Settings for World:  I have used an environment map HDRI with 0 saturation.  Material settings:  Triad with glossy, glass anisotropic and there mix shader combinations and the new principled bsdf shader too but didn't get the required result.  Studio lights: Followed multiple youtube tutorials on setting up studio lights in blender but the results were not what I wanted.    LEAVING CYCLES :  Decided to try some other software So, Downloaded Keyshot 5 but keyshot wasn't able to produce cycles like results LoL.  Not : I have always struggled to get professional quality product rendering in cycles      So now I'm back in cycles looking for help.

This is an very populer host data. It was located /var/zpanel/hostdata/ayrintilih After remove ayrintilih directory has gone everything.  I tried to undelete with ext4magic program. But it need to another hdd volume for recovery.  Error message:   ERROR: can not use "/root/recoveried" for recover directory. It's the same filesystem : "/dev/dm-0"   My ISP just replied my request:  Unfortunately there is no way to add another Volume to a virtual Instance.  If it would be a dedicated Server, we could do it, but not in a Cloudserver.  You could try to minimize the partition and create another one, that would  count as another Volume. We also recommend to have allways a  Backup for your Important files. What, exactly, is transferred along supply lines? PHP syntax for dereferencing function result Do Squibs have to be pure-blood?

Google sheets split multi-line cell into new rows (+ duplicate surrounding row entries) I'm compiling a database of business address info, including key staff for each business. The Google spreadsheet I've inherited for this project includes a column for 'key staff' (in column B), with multiple key staff names listed in the same cell, separated by line breaks (ie CHAR(10) ). There is one business per row. The number of lines in the 'key staff' cell varies row-by-row.  My initial sheet looks like this:    I need to do the following to optimize this sheet:   split each multi-line ‘key staff’ cell so each key staff name appears on its own row. This requires that new row/s be inserted beneath the original row. duplicate the data from all other cells on the original row (i.e. from columns A &amp; C:E), so that each new row contains the full data for each business I need an automated process - I'll have about 1000 businesses to process so can't do this with any manual steps   The sheet should then look like this:    Using =TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(B1,CHAR(10))) obviously only goes part of the way - it doesn’t insert new rows and doesn’t duplicate the surrounding column entries. All help gratefully accepted! $n!+1$ being a perfect square One observes that  \begin{equation*} 4!+1 =25=5^{2},~5!+1=121=11^{2}  \end{equation*} is a perfect square. Similarly for $n=7$ also we see that $n!+1$ is a perfect square. So one can ask the truth of this question:   Is $n!+1$ a perfect square for infinitely many $n$? If yes, then how to prove. How to replace an old version of Ubuntu with a newer one from USB/DVD? A sequence of real numbers such that $\lim_{n\to+\infty}|x_n-x_{n+1}|=0$ but it is not Cauchy What is the pythonic way to avoid default parameters that are empty lists? Sometimes it seems natural to have a default parameter which is an empty list. Yet . If for example, I have a function: def my_func(working_list=[]):     working_list.append(&quot;a&quot;)     print(working_list)  The first time it is called the default will work, but calls after that will update the existing list (with one &quot;a&quot; each call) and print the updated version. So, what is the pythonic way to get the behavior I desire (a fresh list on each call)? Proof involving absolute value and maximums Given the definition for any real numbers a and b, the max function is   $\max\{a, b\} =  \begin{cases}                                    a \text{ if } a \geq b \\                                    b \text{ if } a &lt; b \\   \end{cases} $  Lemma: for any two real numbers $a\text{ and }b, a \leq \max\{a,b\}$ and $ b \leq \max\{a,b\}$.  Prove that for real numbers, $a, b$, and $x$, if a $\leq x \leq$ b then $|x| \leq \max\{|a|,|b|\}$.  So far, I have  $x \geq 0$ or $x &lt; 0$ by the law of trichotomy  Case 1: $x\geq 0$  $|x| = x$ by the definition of absolute value  and I'm not sure where to go from there. Any hints? I'm a happy Minecraft player. I place my blocks, mine my coal, and generally nobody gets hurt. Lately though, those mean creepers have been sneaking up on me from behind, and killing me. Why? Because my framerate is so darn low.  Adjusting the graphics option (Fancy to Fast) and the render distance help, but they are not enough. I have seen mention of outside optimizations and programs that people have made/used.  What hacks, tricks, and mean mods can I use to improve my Minecraft FPS? Delete Everything(the rest of the text) after a specific string How can I keep a folder synchronized to an external USB hard drive? I have a growing music collection which I manually keep in sync with an external USB drive. Sometimes I edit their ID3 tags, add or delete a file in either the hard drive or the USB drive, and I would like to keep those changes synchronized between both.  Does Ubuntu has something available that would help me with this scenario? Preferably something easy to use with a UI.  Update: To clarify my question, changes may happen on both the local hard drive or the USB drive, so the sync process must be on both directions. In Rey's vision, whose voice says "These are your first steps"? Context to distinguish "we" inclusive versus exclusive I compile most of my documents via Makefiles which take care of the bibliography, indexes, etc. Often I'd like to compile different versions from the same TeX file changing only small things (e.g. a beamer presentation plus a version with the handout option).  Is there any standard mechanism for passing parameters to the TeX file so that I can just type make handout to get the handout version in the above example?
