The worrying thing with me, Zeger, is, that I not only like your greebles a 
lot, but also that very supportive texture you have applied!
It partially looks like chrome or silver, but on the other side it also 
looks like burnt steel, smoky silver.

Do you mind to tell me/us what texture it is?

Besides that, I like that your texture can be applied to roundish surfaces. 
But the only logical error might be, here as well as on one of the 
previous-shown examples, that the greebles unlogically get smaller and 
smaller the more they come close to the left or right edge. It looks damn 
good this way, but I would expect the greebles to be in one consistant size. 
Example: The apartments (and persons within them) don't get smaller 
(shorter) the more the apartment houses are located to a 5 or 6-streets 
corner. Therefore, the greebles, as well, should consist their regular size.

But nevertheless, that ting here looks damn good!!! Seems it was given by 
the eons-old Gods to us mortal humans, right? What magic powers it may 
contain..?

I decided to drop the spherical greebles in favour of the more general 
superellipsoidal-greebles :)

I'm not entirely happy with the lighting and the texture, and not even with 
the greebles itself, but I don't know how I could do it better than this :(
