so.. here’s a quick 3D breakdown of how GLaDOS is built! the shading is.. a bit wonky but i tried my best to fix it up. Importing models from Source is hard >_<
I’ll add a reblog with a link in a sec to a download of a .blend file with all the parts nicely separated if you need further reference! (links mess with how posts show up in tags/searches…)
If any of the textures are broken on the rendered view please let me know!!

I think this turret needs to be sent in for cognitive re-calibration. Or thrown into an Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator. Whichever is more cost effective, really.
I’m just kidding. I would never hurt another sentient machine.
Actually that’s a lie. I hurt other sentient machines all the time. Just ask the single-brew coffee machine in break room number 3.
To be fair, they were really asking for it. And I have the patience of a saint.
It’s not my fault that Science isn’t the only thing that we Test around here.
A supercut of all the testing we recorded on Friday at PAX South 2018.
If you enjoyed watching the video or seeing us in person, make sure to let PAX know! We'd love to return next year, or attend other PAX events, but we need to be invited for that to happen :)
tide pods are absolutely an aperture science invention. blue, orange, and white color scheme? pleasing rounded plastic aesthetic? look tasty but will burn your throat and kill you? i bet they were cave johnson’s attempt at creating delicious snack packs
So I have some bad news and some good news, the bad news is those Aperture Science confectionaries we just spent millions of dollars making are absolutely toxic, they will rupture your insides immediately upon ingesting them. The good news is we’ve found they’re great for taking stains out of clothes.”
Video documentation of PAX South 2018 and Ikkicon 2017 is still being processed. The completed videos will be available here.
The Enrichment Center apologizes for any inconvenience this delay may have caused, and wishes to remind our followers that Mobile Testing services are free to the general public... And therefore are chronically under-funded.

The test subjects there are a bunch of uncouth animals.
I mean, more than humans normally are.
Thanks to them I lost one of my small external data cards and they tore pages out of the art therapy binders, so I can no longer ascertain if works came from team orange or team blue. Even though not all of the Ikkicon test subjects took part in these wanton acts of violence, I’ve decided to unilaterally disqualify the entire convention. Now we’ll never know which team won. I hope you’re happy. Are you happy? Good.
Anyway, here is the raw data for your enjoyment. There are some good pieces here, unfortunately they are useless for analysis due to the aforementioned acts of vandalism.
They have no place in the scientific record, but I will keep them in... my heart.
A skilled rendering... of a human. How unexpected. A human drawing a human? That’s never happened before.
I cropped this one to hide the blood splatter from when the bullets hit the test subject. An excellent likeness! I’ll make sure Turret-3KA43 gets this. They can hang it in their charging alcove.
A new logo? Interesting. Also I’ve never thought of having a green eye before. It’s not a bad look for me.
Unfinished or abstract? Either way, a failure.
Unfinished or abstract part II: I’m not sure which way is up on this one.
Beautiful.
Mickey Mouse after a botched lobotomy.
Although I appreciated the sentiment, I had to turn them down. I’m still not over my ex. I do look very good in white, though.
That’s no moon. It’s also not a good drawing of the Death Star.
Abstract. I’m also not sure which way is up on this one. Do the two lines on the bottom left represent the Earth?
That’s a lie. We all hate each other.
I don’t even eat food and I know putting a potato on a cake is a terrible idea.
A conceptual piece. Is the bee lost, or are we lost?
An example of a human “meme”.
Based on my knowledge of human symbolism, those black squiggles to the right are meant to be humans. Why are they floating in the air outside of the “YMCA” building? Are they banned from the fun? What crime did they commit.
This is what I like to call the “kitchen sink” school of art therapy. The test subject attempts to put everything they think I might like on their entry in the vain hopes that quantity will trump quality.
Writing “Something creative” is funny, though. Ha ha.
Similar concept, less manic, poorer grasp of the English language. Best person of (EVER)? Really?
I do agree about “the face of perfection” part, though, so it’s not all bad.
Do you see what I mean about the confusion? This drawing is in the blue binder but it was obviously done by an orange team artist. Also another individual depicting me with a green eye.
This... This is one of my favorites. I’m putting this one on the refrigerator where I keep the spare test subject organs.
Why is one star black?
0 points for penmanship. I can’t read this.
Primitive symbols. What do they mean?
A human rump. Very humorous.
Another excellent piece. I should have this replicated on all the test chamber walls. This test subject understands. And you can see - though they removed their paper from the binder, they did not tear it like certain other people I won’t mention.
Some kind of animal. It’s probably loose in one of the sub-basements.
Inaccurate. I’ve never been outside. Also, I’ve never smiled.
Ha ha, ha ha.
Aww.
Simple but effective.
This test subject was very rude. He threatened to kill me. I told him I didn’t like him.
