Sci-Fi Vending Machine | 3D Model

I was inspired to create this piece after the concept of linguistic drift. This scene recalls the idea that an English speaker from the modern day and an English speaker of the year 1066 would not be able to communicate, despite sharing the speaking a language based on the same linguistic DNA. While many aspects of this distant culture may seem recognizable to us, we are reminded that we are but passing strangers when observing the familiar yet illegible fonts decorating this vending machine, separated by light years rather than miles. Created using Maya 2022, Adobe Substance 3D Painter, Adobe Photoshop, and Marmoset Toolbag 3.
