Post 1/30: VFX tutorial for Blender - Blender Interface & Basic Navigation

 


Goal:

Familiarize yourself with Blender’s interface and create a basic 3D shape with basic lighting.

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Download & Install Blender

  • Go to Blender’s official website and download the latest version.
  • Follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

Step 2: Open Blender

  • Launch Blender after installation. You’ll be greeted with the default layout.

Step 3: Understand the Blender Interface

  • Top Bar: This is where you'll find common operations like File (to open or save files), Edit, and View.
  • Viewport: The large center window where your 3D objects will be displayed and manipulated.
  • Outliner (Top Right): This lists all objects in your scene.
  • Properties Panel (Bottom Right): This contains settings for materials, textures, modifiers, rendering, and more.
  • Timeline (Bottom): Useful for animations, though we won’t need it on Day 1.

Step 4: Basic Viewport Navigation

  • Zoom In/Out: Use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out of your scene.
  • Rotate View: Click and hold the middle mouse button while moving the mouse to rotate your view around the scene.
  • Pan View: Hold Shift + middle mouse button to pan the view around.

Step 5: Select and Move Objects

  • Select an Object: Left-click on the default cube in the viewport. You’ll see an orange outline indicating it’s selected.
  • Move the Object: Press G (Grab) to move the object. You can lock the movement to specific axes:
    • G + X to move on the X-axis.
    • G + Y to move on the Y-axis.
    • G + Z to move on the Z-axis.
    • Left-click to confirm the movement, or right-click to cancel.

Step 6: Rotate and Scale Objects

  • Rotate: Press R to rotate the object.
    • R + X, R + Y, or R + Z to rotate on a specific axis.
    • Left-click to confirm the rotation.
  • Scale: Press S to scale the object.
    • S + X, S + Y, or S + Z to scale along a specific axis.

Step 7: Add a New Object

  • Delete the Default Cube: Select the cube and press X, then confirm deletion.
  • Add a New Object: Press Shift + A to bring up the Add Menu.
    • Go to Mesh and select a new shape (e.g., UV Sphere or Cylinder).
    • The new object will appear at the center of the scene.

Step 8: Basic Lighting

  • Default Light: In Blender, there is usually a default light already in the scene (you can see it in the Outliner).
    • Select the light by clicking on it in the viewport or Outliner.
    • Press G to move the light around, positioning it where you want.

Step 9: Camera Setup

  • Select the Camera: In the Outliner, select the Camera object.
    • Press Numpad 0 to switch to the camera view.
    • To adjust the camera's position, press G to move it and R to rotate it.

Step 10: Render a Simple Image

  • Rendering Setup:
    • Press F12 to render your scene. This will create an image of what the camera is viewing.
    • Once the render is complete, save the image by going to the top menu: Image > Save As and choose your file format (e.g., PNG).

Step 11: Save Your Project

  • Go to File > Save As and save your project with a name like "Day1_Project.blend".

Post 12/30: DHA versus Bahria Town, Islamabad, which one is better?

I thought of learning about different aspects of Pakistan, as I want to do something for it. Therefore, I started with some of the well-known indices or reports that would help me in gaining more information about Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat (SWOT). These were 12 posts. You can search my posts related to Pakistan by typing: #UsmanZafarParacha_Pakistan

Now, I have been learning about real estate business in Pakistan. I have started from Youtube videos and hopefully during my learning Journey, I will get some more useful resources to move ahead in this learning and perhaps entering into the real estate business.

I have seen a video, titled, “DHA Islamabad OR Bahria Town! Which Society Is The Best To Invest In!” on the channel “PROPERTY VISION TV”

The host of the video talks about the two real estate investment options, including DHA and Bahria Town, Islamabad. One of the major differences between DHA and Bahria town is that there is relatively low level of rush in DHA as compared to Bahria Town.

The host says that usually people think that DHA is related to an organization and Bahria Town is related to “one man show,” so they often think better in the context of security regarding DHA. However, according to the host, Bahria Town is a better option if we consider customers’ trends. Moreover, Bahria town has a good range of options. For instance, you can make investments starting from low and going to high level of investment. In this brand, a huge number of people has already invested. People usually invest in Bahria Town more comfortably. Furthermore, considering the commercial areas and other developments (monuments, parks, brands, etc.), Bahria Town is again a better option.

Post 11/30: Phase 8, Bahria Town, Rawalpindi, Pakistan - Prices in July 2024

Now, I have been learning about real estate business in Pakistan. I have started from Youtube videos and hopefully during my learning Journey, I will get some more useful resources to move ahead in this learning and perhaps entering into the real estate business.

I have seen a video, titled, “Real Estate Market overview - july 2024 / Bahria Town Rawalpindi” on the channel “Garrison Estate And Builders.”

The host starts with an interesting statement, “in the world, when everyone sells, buy it, and when every buys, sell it.”

The host shares that prices are constantly declining in the field of property for the past two years. For instance, property’s prices in 2024 have gone down to the prices equivalent to that of 2018’s. Therefore, according to the host, this is the best time to purchase a plot/property.

Bahria Town, Phase 8 can be good opportunity, in case you have a minimal amount. For instance, a 5 marla plot in that area can be obtained in the price range of 15 lacs; an 8 marla plot can be obtained in the price of 20 lacs; a 10 marla plot can be obtained in the price range of 25 to 30 lacs, and one kanal plot can be obtained in the price of 40 lacs. Probably, these prices are in the case of files. In the case of on-ground/physical plots, 5 marla plot is available in the price range of 45 lacs to 50 lacs. In the Rose Garden also, 50 lacs to 55 lacs are prices for plots of 5 marlas. In the case of 10 marla plots, prices may range from 65 lacs to 70 lacs. In the same way, one kanal plot is available in the price range of 1.25 to 1.35 crores.

The above prices are lower than the prices of plots that were about 2 years ago. According to the host, the prices will move towards betterment in the future.

Post 10/30: Points to be considered in becoming a successful real estate agent

I have seen a video, titled, “How To Be A Successful Real Estate Agent In Pakistan” on the channel “Shams Raja”

The host of the video tells one of the first things to become a successful real estate agent is that of personal grooming. It may also include your growth, behavior, and presence.

The second thing is to make lists everyday for the next day. These lists must contain information regarding what you will do and other similar things and activities. For instance, if a client asks for a video of a plot, you may have checklist to complete that task the next day.

The third thing is that of customer relationship. For instance, you may ask the customer to join you on tea or dinner, or you may also keep your customers updated regarding different projects.

The fourth thing is that of right information regarding the street, sector, or place of a plot, and what things have already been paid and what are not paid. The availability of correct information can also help in increasing the level of bonding with customer.

The fifth thing is to provide extra customer care and services. For instance, you have to provide good opportunities for the customer to invest; help your customers to invest in a timely manner; help them in taxes and bank-related issues, and help them in issues, such as those related to transfer section and sale deed agreement.

The sixth thing is that of marketing skills, and it can be considered one of the most important things. Marketing must also contain latest information regarding property/plots. Improve marketing skills while looking at market’s present state.

The seventh thing is that confidence. Real estate business is also a highly patience-related work.
