a modern gas pump by AsrorZ (CC BY), with every name, logo and advert taken off and repainted · the tanker truck:
a fuel truck by simonthedigger (CC BY), its company colors taken off · the grown-up:
Nathan, a real 3D-scanned person, by Renderpeople (CC BY) · the gas station in the morning and the evening, and the tanks under the ground: watercolor paintings Kelly made with Grok · the light on the car: a real 360° photograph from
Poly Haven (CC0) · the inside of the pump (after Kelly's painting), the gas tank, the fuel pipes, the hoses and the flowing gas are made in code · real sounds from Freesound (
CC0, thank you!):
a quiet street with birds (mzui),
a car arriving and parking (ahriik),
filling up a car, and the nozzle's click (XiiiSamples),
a car engine ticking over (AndrewAlexander),
