The sealed bottle is one of the oldest narrative objects there is, and it works because of the delay. Whatever is inside was written for somebody who did not exist yet, which is a premise no other prop delivers in a single image.
The model is very light at 13,856 polygons and 13,831 vertices in quads and tris with non-overlapping UVs, textured with 8 maps at 2048x2048. It carries CheckMate Lite and Pro certification.
At $39 it suits editorial and conceptual illustration, advertising, film and television props, book cover work, game assets and interior scenes. On sale since 2017.
