I created this super stylized car for BIX,
in this video everything is still and only the camera moves, (and the snow)
it's a "snapshot" of a sad moment in BIX.
Maybe you can cheer up Bix by adding some speed and some curves!
This is basic functionality of Bixelangelo. No tricks, hacks or complex features are required:

I get sad when I see Bix so lonely.

It was just a test video to show you the car.
Now I need to add some movement.
In addition to the path to move the car,
what was that effect to do the road scroll?
Otherwise I create a path like a roller coaster.
Any tricks to better blur objects going towards the horizon?
Franco Aversa, 2 months ago
Franco, the path of the car is defined by the same curve as the roller coaster: outerspace-software.com...
Blurring objects going towards the horizon can best be done with the FOG props of the camera layer: outerspace-software.com...
Instead of starting from scratch, it's much easier and much more fun building your world out of existing models. This way you can focus on higher level things like animation, camera and composition. We think BluffTitler is an excellent tool for doing that. Here's another example of the Bix model combined with a car model. The model can be downloaded from Sketchfab: sketchfab.com...

Nice Michiel,
but I liked doing something of my own without using a ready-made model.
I know that mine is a "cart" but it was also to have fun building it
and learn to use Blender better, there are many difficulties in modeling,
for example the hole for the wheels cut into the bodywork is not easy to make.
But what was the effect of "Scroll" that made the screen scroll like in old video games?
Franco Aversa, 2 months ago
Yes Decentralized I remember that there is an effect to scroll the texture horizontally or vertically. There was a nice 80's animation with the 3D scrolling of the floor.
But I don't remember how to do it.
However, with the roller coaster I know how to do it.

Here's Michiel's instructions from that link.
I'm not sure if it will work on your project, but maybe.
1) choose LAYER > ADD LAYER > ADD PICTURE LAYER... and select your 1 line asphalt picture
2) switch from FLAT to SINGLE SIDED with the 3rd dropdown below the (disabled) textbox
3) set the TEXTURE REPEAT prop to (0, 10)
4) set the SIZE prop to (1, 10, 1)
5) set the ROTATION prop to (0, 40, 0)
6) choose MEDIA > CHANGE EFFECT... and select the Flare effect
7) set the FX SPEED prop to (0, 1)

thank you Decentralized, it was exactly what I wanted and was looking for.
But does it only work with the "Flare" effect?
Franco Aversa, 2 months ago
I want to say it does work with other effects. I just don't remember which ones.
Maybe Michiel will know?
