how are these for some vents. They are far from done, but they look alright.

I am using maya unlimited, so the electric arcs are just lightning effects.

I just started on the actual lab. The glow on the lights is too much, and Im also going to give them covers and have them hung from the ceiling a little bit.

Looking good there! I really like the design of the thing with the dials!

I think the floor might be tad too shiny. To make the edges of your dials and workbench more smooth have you tried upping the divisions in the primitives?
