PROJECT NAME 2: Pickup Truck - Road Trip
Objective:
Model a realistic pickup truck using Blender tools such as extrude, inset, loop cut, and
Boolean modifiers.
Add intricate details like windows, wheels, door handles, bumpers, and grills.
Create a dynamic environment with hilly landscapes, roads, and animated elements.
Enhance visual appeal with materials, textures, lighting, and HDRI backgrounds.
Animate the scene to create an endless moving road trip effect with rotating wheels.
Render the final animation for a professional-quality output.
Step-by-Step Instructions:

Open Blender and start a new project.
Ensure the front of your 3D model aligns with the -Y axis.
2. Create the Basic Form of the Truck
Bottom Part:
o Add a cube and scale it on the x, y, and z axes to create the truck's base.
Cabin:
o Insert two edge loops at the center of
the base.
o Extrude the top face upwards to form
the cabin.
o Adjust edges on the top left to shape the cabin roof.
3. Add Details to the Truck
Windows:
o Select the front and side faces of the cabin.
o Inset the faces and extrude inward to create windows.
Boot Space:
o Select the back face of the cabin, inset, and extrude downward.
