Unused Models

A model of an elevator with no textures, just called "elevator". There are animations associated with this model of the elevator opening up and having props come in from the outside.

An early model of Cave Johnson's office. No animations or materials associated with it. It can be assumed that it was used by Valve in early versions of the game before being finalized.

An untextured model of the Turret Wife from Portal 2, left over inside the models/npc/turret directory.

Two fully textured gib models from Portal 2, left over inside the models/npc/turret directory, that would usually appear when breaking a Turret.

Turret
Two model files found inside the models/turrets/input_test directory called input_test.vmdl_c and input_test_camera.vmdl_c, both containing the same model of the Portal 2 Turret.
Both of the models have 48 animations available, but seem mostly broken.
input_test.vmdl_c has mesh groups you can toggle, one of them being the laser. The other model does not have these.
