    I've just started to use it and it works great. Its useful for adding detail to large objects and environments or even as cutout shapes. It would be cool if there was a way to add rivets along the seams automatically to suggest panels. Noticed that the random number doesn't create as many variations as you would think. Especially if you use lower numbers. Would definitely recommend it though. Wish more products here were as reasonable in price.

      Thanks very much for your positive feedback arghpics - rivets would be tricky but possible and I'll look into it for a future update. The random number generator should in theory not be an issue as I am using the standard built in Python library...perhaps this is might be changed in future Blender versions?

    So, I just wanted to comment on this great product, first for me on the Market. It really makes these kind of things simpler, even with the occasional hiccup (not always perfect result complex meshes, but not a big issue). I wanted to ask if it would be possible to add the edge loop option, to choose how many edges you'd like to fit inside the chosen depth of the grooves? Similar to how you can choose when doing a bevel? Just a thought, it would make further customization way easier.

    Either way, thanks for making this addon, I hope you'll continue with making it even better.

    Sincerely, Predrag

      Thanks for the great review Predrag! I have just added an update following your suggestions. It should be available for download from the same place. Let me know if this was what you were looking for.

    I just purchased this addon and I'm enjoying learning how to operate it. The only reason that I'm not giving 5 stars is because the description was not clear enough regarding the Greebles pack.

    As I did not read carefully enough, I ended up purchasing SolCommand's greeble pack thinking that it was another set as the two file names were different. Much to my chagrin, I spent $15 extra to get the exact same file.

    I suggest that you identify, in the top right hand box, that SolCommand's Greebles are included instead of the generic " +greebles addons", so that idiots like me don't buy the same thing twice.

      Hi Gaetan - SolCommand’s Greebles pack should be a different set of files to mine. As you intended, you should be getting the benefit of purchasing both.

      Get in touch by logging in to Blender Market and clicking the ‘Contact Creator’ line on my Shop Page: https://blendermarket.com/creators/mark-kingsnorth, happy to help you resolve this.

    Hello, this is a great addon for creating quick and easy sci-fi details with lots of options. With that said, I am encountering a serious bug in that every time I attempt to select a new greeble object Blender immediately crashes. Whether I am selecting a default object, or a custom object, it crashes, every time. I'm on Blender 2.91b and the latest addon version., also have like 20 other addons enabled. Looking at the crash log I can't make sense of what the exact issue is, if you want me to send the logs let me know, otherwise this is maybe the important bits:

    read file C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\BlenderError : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
    Address : 0x00007FF806E8199C
    Module : VCRUNTIME140.dll

    Very good, though sometimes the edge selection choice seems a little peculiar. Definitely a useful addition though.

      Thanks, contact me if you think there's anything I could do to make the edge selection better for you.

    It's a great too, but it really sucks you can't go back and edit your paneling. Woulld be nice if it was actually a non-destructive modifier. If you get far down the line, and you get some art direction about the paneling there's no way to edit it. Unless I'm missing something.

      Hello timdan,

      I too would love to have this as a non-destructive modifier; unfortunately Blender's Python application interface does not allow for custom modifiers right now. I am always watching for updates to Blender's core code for this feature and the moment it is possible I will be implementing it!

      The Animation Nodes feature bundled with the add-on will allow you to go back and forth. There are some example files supplied and instructions about how to install the feature in the documentation. It may not entirely suit you needs, and if you have any questions, let me know.

      I am developing a Houdini version of the add-on which is fully integrated with the application as a Digital Asset. If you're familiar with Houdini and would like to try an early version, do get in touch.
