Big_Airvent
This prop is actually a "Building Block". We use these kind of objects to quickly and efficiently bring detail to the environment. Being one of the largest objects in the game, it required quite a bit of detail-mapping (overlaying repetitive generic detail over the texture) to get it to look sharp and believable from up close. The purpose of this object can be easily justified; just a big air vent.
Wall_Lamp
One of the first props to have been modeled and put ingame. Starting a project as a modeler with a relatively small and meaningless object gives you a simple warm-up for what's to come. The prop itself needed a distinguishable shape when lit, so two bars were put in front of it to give it a nice little industrial sci-fi finesse.
Small_Airvent
Two building blocks under one conviniently grouped name! It's like twins. Unlike the Big_Airvent we needed something small for placement on empty parts of walls or slopes. These guys will help out by that. The first one actually has a little lightbulb at the top, so we can even use them as some kind of light source.
Fuel_Tank
Probably the first prop to have been modeled and put ingame. The design is quite generic, so that this one had higher chances to suit a somewhat different approach to the art style. It can be used as a place for cover, but if you're really enthousiastic you can just as well climb on top of it.
