Folding Projector Arm

I've been practicing shaders and I wanted to make a whole prop to showcase it. Richard Rude's 80.LV article was extremely helpful in creating a believable hologram. For the "worn" variant I created a sci-fi bubble tea brand called Tea-5 and I framed it in the Soul City environment. For the factory new variant, I took inspiration for Coffee Stain's Satisfactory.
