Subdivision Sketch: Camera rig grip + clamps and articulated ball arm.
Nothing really special here, just an update on the modular camera rig parts.
Here's some images of the progress from a couple of hours spent noodling around this weekend. Same modeling process as before with the modifier based support loops. Most of the base models used to control the subdivided high poly models will be used directly as low poly models when the modifiers are turned off. This can be a really efficient way to create both the high and low poly models at the same time. Some areas, like the knurling on the grips, will be baked down to simplified geometry on the low poly models. The low poly optimization and baking part of this workflow will be covered some time in the future.
Top of the vertical hand grip.
Knurled rubber grip pattern. (First two steps are generated with modifiers. Final geometry generated by a single inset operation.)
Screw in hand grip assembly. (All the major support loops are generated by editable modifiers.)
Angled rosette to screw adapter for the hand grip. (Some of the modifier based support loops got a little too close so the edge weights need to be adjusted in a couple of spots.)
Articulated arm segment. (No need to use a quad sphere since both poles are trimmed off to support circular details.)
Articulated arm parts details.
Arm joint tension knob. (Good example of segment matching and boolean cleanup. Done in tileable sections to reduce work.)
Articulated arm with threaded ball heads.
Example of how all the modular camera rail parts connect.

CGA display adaptor filter (palletisation is hard)
I'm on a bit of a retro kick at the moment ( I'm probably going senile ) and wanted to feel the warmth that for some reason i associate with early PC graphics adaptors.
so - I made a thing that palletises (and almost correctly) sets resolution on images as per the venerable CGA display adaptor from a long time ago
For those of you born this century that means that in most modes you have a choice of five predetermined 4 color palettes from a total palette of 16 colors at 320*200 pixel resolution.
there are high intensity versions of the pictured palettes and a couple of other modes (160*100 16 color) (640*200 2 color) that I've implemented but I'm not 100% sure I've got them right and as such they're not included.
The fun part of this was palletising the input image. Nothing supplied with designer comes anywhere close to doing a good job of picking colours so I rolled my own oklab space conversion which (I'm told) is perceptually "correct" and it seems to be working really nicely.
It's not a cheap pile of maths (3-4 ms at 2048*2048 on my 3080) but it's in Designer so who cares really?
It should be relatively trivial to extend this to support wider fixed palettes such as those found in EGA, VGA etc as well as other computers such as the C64, Atari ST and Amiga

This a personal project I created from the game Wolfenstein 2.
It'as has two texture sets and 12K polys.

Re: Stylized Toxic Axe [Finished]
Thanks so much @Ashervisalis !!
Here is the final highpoly. So hype to get this retopo'd and textured!

[Finished] Getting into weapons art - Sten Mk II
Hi all, this is my first post here.
I am looking at getting into weapons art professionally, and here is my first step in that direction.
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/NxLRkN
It would be great to get some feedback, or to show it some love
20, 586 tris for the lowpoly, 4k texture map, the average texel density for the model is 81.042 tx/cm.
Made using the zbrush boolean workflow. I've learnt a ton from this project! Created this weapon during a mentorship with Kamil "Xaz" Jodełko.

Chainperator
Greetings fellow polycounters! Whew, I didn't posted for a while, but anyway I was quite busy working on realtime 3d stuff.
And from now on I really want to be a more active member of community, share artwork not only among my friends in telegram chat, but among my friends here, on polycount 
So, without further ado, let me share Chainperator with you
It is collaborative work with a very talented artist Oksana Cherry. It was a great pleasure to work with her on this project. And while her part is almost done on this character, I'm still working on him, adding some additional stuff which I will share later when it will be in more presentable form.
You can find more renders on the Oksana's artstion page
My main contribution is armor, rigging and animation.
"He is big, he is nuclear, and he is not respecting any authority except
his own. With his chainsaw gauntlet and drill mace he is terrorizing
countless arenas around the galaxy. And doing it with a great comfort in
his stylish armor."
Cheers!

Game Ready Hiking Backpack (Latest personal project)
Needed to improve my Marvelous Designer skills, so I decided to create this asset. It wasn't an easy journey, but I learned a lot from it. Special thanks to my mentor Georgian Avasilcutei for his feedback as well to my fellow students for all the support and feedback.
Everything but the Clips and Zipper were made in Marvelous Designer, then taken to Zbrush to add memory folds and stitching. Retopo was made with Topogun 3 beta, Rendered and baked with Marmoset Toolbag 4, Textured with Substance Painter, UVs were made with RizomUV, and clips and strap clean up were made in Maya. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/9mbgZv
