Pulled a couple pieces out of Olympus to set a place for this chair, to see how it looked. Needs a lot of work - I just banged this one out quick so I could see if/how the process of making a HL model works.
Planning to make a nicer one, though the basic structure will likely be similar to this one.
If anyone wants this one, I'll attatch it to this post.
I'm also brainstorming ideas for other little 'eye candy' .mdl bits... a cluster of alien eggs, maybe, some modelled versions of the dangling wires alpha texture, perhaps a shuttlecraft or some pipes or something. Ideas?

i think some pipes and especially wires would look awsome!
This is a great idea, a set of modular pipes that you can use to assumble a sweet looking pipe network. Only if you have entities to spare though.

Biobrain, if you read Plaguebearer's post you'll see he just threw the area together to test out the CHAIR. Look at the chair model, not the stuff around it.
I think the chair looks great, I'll try it out in Penumbra to see how nicely it works (I made some brush-based chairs, but they don't look as slick as this).
Well, an erector-set-esque set of pipe parts is a little more grandiose than I was intending. I was thinking more along the lines of ... was it Hans' alpha'ed pipe textures? I saw some somewhere, they looked cool ... anyhow, say a 128x64 model of some pipes appropriate for setting into a hollow in a floor or wall.
Sketching of ideas continues... right now I have an interesting little 'burst pimple' bit of Alien Infestation Eye Candy that looks like it would combine excellently with an inventive particle system.
Ty- It -is- a bit darker, you have to account for looking through that frosted glass.
