		Greeble extrusion heights are now 100% of the surface area by default, as opposed to 50% of the surface area in the previous version.
		Greeble heights default to the surface area of the underlying surface.
		Greebles are randomly rotated when placed; this value dictates the increment (in degrees) which a greeble may be rotated, from 0 to 90.

	Greeble -
		Greeble is a great little plugin for 3dsmax written by Tom Hudson for procedurally generating detailed geometry on any mesh object.
		Although it was originally created for detailing "Spaceship models, cityscapes and Death Stars", it is also particularly useful for testing global illumination speed and accuracy as it provides endless crevices and clefts for indirect illumination to interact within.
		If you would like to download Greeble, you can find it on Tom Hudson's homepage.

	Greeble - YPPedia
		Greeble can be found most often on the Midnight Ocean but occasionally shows up on Cobalt and Viridian.
		Greeble started playing around June of 2004 and had the good fortune of being brought into The Sea Dogs by Piranne where he lived for over a year.
		Greeble's favorite pastime continues to be leading pillages but since his life rarely affords him the opportunity he has recently started hunting Brigand Kings.

		Before you read it, you might want to learn about greebles and Kahlua.
		Put this in a pastry bag and attach a thin tip, such as the type you might use for writing or drawing greebles.
		Then, pipe on the greeble frosting in a randomish pattern that looks cool but doesn't really do anything.

		Greeble is a mesh modifier, so after installation you will find it in your modifier rollout.
		If you want to edit individual buildings of your finished greeble city as "element" units, it is now the time to "Keep original geometry", as it will allow for detaching them individually from the base object w/o leaving holes later.
		Since "select tops" was active in the preceeding greeble modifier, we can now easily alter all "roofs" of our buildings to use ID 4 (which is the dedicated roof material).

	Greeble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Greeble studies demonstrated that it is possible to train experts in a category in the laboratory in a matter of hours, so that some of the behavioral and neural effects typically obtained with faces but not objects can also be found in Greeble experts looking at Greebles.
		In 3D computer graphics, greebles are often created automatically by specific software, because generating greeble involves a lot of precise, tedious, and repetitive work, and many consider it a task best suited to computers, particularly if a great degree of control is unnecessary or the greebles will not be particularly large on screen.
		Most greeble generating software works by sub-dividing the surface to be greebled into smaller regions, adding some detail to each new surface, and then recursively continuing this process on each new surface to some specified level of detail.

	How Experience Shapes Vision
		In the laboratory we have created experts for novel objects called “Greebles” and observed the behavioral (Gauthier and Tarr, 1997) and neural (Gauthier et al., 1999; Rossion et al., 2000) changes that occur with the onset of expertise.
		Third, across Greeble expertise training, subjects show a significant positive correlation between a behavioral measure of holistic processing (sensitivity to the presence of the correct parts for that object) and neural activity in the right fusiform (Gauthier and Tarr, 2002).
		This argument is based on studies using both Greeble and extant experts in domains as diverse as cars, birds, and chess.

	POV-Ray: Newsgroups: povray.binaries.images: greeble envy
		Anyway, seeing all these lovely greebles has given me greeble envy, so I decided to try to do some greebles that render fast enough that I might be able to use them in an animation, if the next IRTC anim topic ever gets announced...
		So here is the results of my macro, it draws a greebled polygon (or in this case several polygons arranged in a square-torus), by subdividing the 4-pointed polygon into a grid, then using a bunch of funky rules to deform that grid.
		This is what happens when I tell my greebling macro to displace the surface by a big amount, and I agree it kinda moves beyond the term greebling and needs a new word...

		Will be nightmarish for large greeble sets, as your modeler will slow down significantly with so many unique objects, but would be nice for smaller sets where different greebles would get different textures.
		The drawback to non-distorting greebles is that they don't distribute as randomly on "skewed" surfaces and triangles.
		On such geometry, non-distorting greebles tend to gravitate toward the center of mass of the surface.

		The 1.1 version of Greeble has been officially released for Windows and Macintosh.
		This update to fixes a few major issues that crept in with "greebles in separate objects", so if you downloaded version 1.1, make absolutely sure you replace it with version 1.1b.
		Meanwhile, Mac users, do not use the "greebles in separate objects" option until you can get version 1.1b, and you should be fine.

	Raw Greebles - An Experiment - Scifi-Meshes
		Instead of having flat greebles to slap against a flat surface, I started building complete 3D machine parts that be rotated and attached to each other sort of like legos.
		The real interesting feature of this setup is that by rotating any 1 greeble in a different direction, it looks very different, this makes it possible to reuse the same greeble over and over, with out it seeming too repetitive.
		Most of these blocks of greebles were assembled in minutes, simply by selecting the face on a pipe end and duplicating it onto another pipe end.

	greeble-study on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
		This would be my contribution to the classic-space group greeble study.
		I wanted to make the greebles interact, so that they were a unity rather than small mechanical elements.
		like if you made this into a gun with a long barrel that could be raised - the challenge would then be to integrate a functional greeble (like a gun or greeble) with a larger craft via the 64 stud footprint.

	Classic-Space LEGO: content / greebling: a closer look
		As written in the greeble design commentary on Lugnet, “‘Greeble’ (also ‘greeblie’ or ‘greeb’) is the popular term to describe groupings of mechanical-looking detail elements on MOCs”.
		Due to all of this there are a lot of things to have in mind when greebling (and it is furthermore, as we will see, based on very loose conventions), and this document is intended to provide an introduction to that world.
		Greebles are essentially fantasy-elements – in the real world, spaceships would be unlikely to place mechanical elements exposed to radiation, weapon fire and whatnot.

	Brain region used in face recognition is active in new object recognition
		Greebles are a homogeneous class of complex three-dimensional objects organized into two categories: gender and family.
		In this study, the process of training test subjects to be greeble recognition experts took approximately seven hours over at least four days.
		When test subjects completed their training as greeble experts, the activity in their right middle fusiform gyrus was similar to activity generated during human face recognition.

		The Greeble plugin was used again to add detail to some of these splines.
		A similar technique was used to produce the layers in the midground, although much of this detail is obscured by the fog in the final image.
		In the final image, the particle generated tendrils were rendered separately and composited to keep render times down, Greeble was also used over the surface, while the additive transparency material added extra detail.

	The Power of Greeble - SpaceBattles.com
		I'd love a version of greeble for Lightwave, as you say it takes ages to fill a space with crap like that, even if the end result is a little more 'designed' looking that the plugin can come up with.
		It's possible to approximate the effects of greeble using the bevel command.
		Greeble has a very nice render-only option, so you can animate in low-poly, but full renders have all the greebling visible.

	Greeble info
		Like faces, Greebles are all similar because they have the same number of parts in the same configuration.Although they may have properties in common with faces (bilateral symmetry, organic-like characteristics) the Greebles are apparently not treated as faces by our visual system.
		Greeble experts also activate their "fusiform face area" in the brain more than novices do (Gauthier, Tarr, Anderson, Skudlarski and Gore, 1999): this suggests that this part of the brain may be specialized for faces because of our experience with them, not because of some innate bias.
		Greeble experts learn to discriminate rapidly between individuals within the same gender and family (different families have different body shapes), such as the two guys in the bottom row.

	Documentation copy
		Greebles of given type should all have the same turning characteristics, although they may vary in how fast they move depending on what level they are on.
		Greebles uses a Server/Client model, which means that one machine acts as the Server which the other computers connect to.
		Greebles is Shareware, so we encourage you to play the game and decide whether you like it, but it is also Commercial software and we expect you to pay for the software.

	M.R. Bauer Foundation at Brandeis
		In a part recognition task we found that Greeble experts, but not Greeble novices, showed a pattern of configurable sensitivity similar to that observed for faces.
		This common pattern indicates that it was the specificity of face recognition, not the class per se that led to enhanced activity in the face area.
		In a second study we imaged Greeble novices and Greeble experts and found that the experts, but again not the novices, showed enhanced activity in the face area, even when this region was defined individually for each subject.

		The contest was for “best greeble” and there were two categories: top greeble and bottom greeble.
		When they were building the models for use in the Star Wars movies, the modelers used the term “greeble” for the little bits of detail used to break up the otherwise smooth skin of the spacecraft.
		Members brought examples of greebles on both the top and the bottom of their models (or looking another way, studs-up vs. studs-down).

		Still, something about your greeble (perhaps chamfering??) makes it look very regular in terms of 'resolution' and scale.
		In other words, your greeble looks a lot like what you'd see in a plastic model kit where all the little parts are cast with the same level of detail, and none of it looks 'razor-sharp' like you'd expect to see in many areas of greeble on a larger ship.
		Nice work on the greebles that stretch back over the armor and around the tail.

		The model is very simple, just a twisted lofted surface with some slots and holes cut out to allow light in with the greeble modifer added to get all the raised surface detail.
		It was alittle more tricky to get a stable and detailed lighting soluiton rendered out with such fine detail in the background without jitter or artifacts.
