thanks :)
it's the same texture I use for almost all of my scifi-images actually 
:)

I'll have to look that up !
Right now I'm trying a "universal 4-sided polygon greeble-cell 
generator", with 2 points at the same location.  Looks useful imho.

Wow, this is really nice.  What more can you share about this technique?

I still need to add the greebles themselves, but that shouldn't be too 
much of a problem.

Hi Zeger,

you replied to John van Sickle that you did some SF images. Is it possible 
to see them? Is there some website, or can you e-mail them to me?

I would be curious.

Thanks,

Sven

Hmmm, it has been always there and I somehow managed to not to recognize it. 
Sorry, and big thanks!

Thanks!  This was a lot of fun to play with.  It is surprisingly flexible, 
too...

Greetings!

Zeger, I have there a starship I am developing, and would like to try out 
your greebles macro for some parts of that ship. I want to ask you for the 
code of the macro you have published in your posting here.

Another question: do you plan a macro which can automatically adjust to the 
heights and surfaces of an object (union or difference or blob)? Maybe a 
combination of surface greebles and a side greebles, which, depending on the 
angle ration, decides how to keep the greebles of one kind (surface or 
side), or to mix the two kinds of greebles.

But again: I would like to try out your macro, if it is okay for you.

Greetings,

Sven

np, I'll send you the code for this image and for the latest image

I didn't clean the code though, don't have time now :-/

I don't think I can

I was planning however to make greeble-macros for some primitives, like 
cylinders, spheres, boxes, cones and torii
