    5.  Create the Grill and Headlights
                              Grill: Add a cube, scale it down and use the array modifier to create a grill pattern.

                              Headlights: Add a cylinder, position it on the front and inset the face slightly for a glowing
                              effect.
                      6.  Shading and Rendering

                              Material Assignments:
                              o  Assign materials to the truck body, windows and wheels using the Shader Editor.

                              o  Use emission materials for glowing headlights.
                              Lighting Setup:
                              o  Enable ambient occlusion and bloom in the Render Properties tab.

                      7.  Build the Landscape

                              Create Terrain: Add a plane, subdivide it and use proportional editing to create hills and
                              valleys.
                              Model the Road: Add a plane for the road and add lane markings using edge loops and
                              scaling.
                              Place the Truck: Resize and position the truck on the road, ensuring proper alignment
                              with the landscape.

                      8.  Animate the Scene

                              Moving Landscape:
                              o  Animate the terrain to move backward, creating the illusion of a moving truck.

                              o  Use keyframes to set the start and end positions of the terrain.
                              Rotating Wheels: Animate the wheel rotation using keyframes and ensure the motion is
                              continuous with linear interpolation.

                              Seamless Loop: Ensure the first and last frames are identical for a smooth animation
                              loop.

                      9.  Final Rendering
                              Set Up the Camera:

                              o  Align the active camera to a visually appealing angle.
                              o  Lock the camera to the view and fine-tune the framing.

                              HDRI Background: Add an HDRI image for realistic lighting and sky effects.
                              Render the Animation: Save the frames and compile them into a video.

                      Quick Tips

                              Use / to isolate objects for focused editing.
                              Save your progress frequently and back up your work.

                              Use proportional editing to create natural-looking landscapes.
