greebles!!

Forgiveness for my pedantry, but pretty sure a greeble (or greeblie) is the individual plastic details that they would glue on to create the texture, not the texture itself.

You wouldn't say a texture is "greeble".

Edit - and if you're talking 3d modeling, greebling is done during sculpting, it's not a texturing step.

Back in the days where they used miniatures to do spaceships sometimes the vfx dept. would take model kits and glue the entire plastic sheet, sprues and all, to the miniature. You know, like this.

Huh. I thought it was the invisible things that only cats can see that makes them kinda crazy.

i like the star trek borg cube texture instead personally

So in the future, have they also solved the problem of "dust"? Those poor cleaners...

And here I was calling it the Borg

Is there a special name for electronic doodads in sci-fi? Like the control panels in the Millennium Falcon or Luthen's radio switchboard in Andor. Shoot, Mother's room in Alien is another example. It's like the electronic version of greebles on a starship model. Do they have a special name as well?

The Great Greeble Assimilation was a very important milestone for the Borg.

You will be assimilated. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

This is nurnies erasure.

There was even a pretty cool plugin for Cinema4D with that same name IIRC.
