You fundamentally don't understand what greebling is then.

If you out that ship into the hands of a hack artist the entire bottom would have a fuckload of geometric shapes and every flat surface would contain a bunch of random meshes. There wouldn't be a flat surface bigger than 2 feet.

This gets a pass because it fits in with gothic architecture and theme of the Imperials. Much of what they build favors form over function because the space magic just makes it work.

still too flat a design for the average AAA shooter

it still works too. the puppet combo games come to mind.

This works here though because it still follows the base design which is good. It's not stupidly over done.

the new lego star wars game lets you control every ship in the lore, all the way up to the death star, and they're to scale. you can go inside as well. if it's big enough, you can also put smaller ships inside.

You've never heard the word Greeble before 20 minutes ago, and now you think the name is icky and want it changed. Sounds totally normal.

Well, it used to take effort. Now you just ram a ship 1/32 it's size and hit the boosters and push it into something big...

Or fly through the Bridge by accident. Either one works really... Thinking on it I can't really make an Old Wars vs Nu Wars argument here.

It's a shortcut to get that astetic though. Would you have artists design each futuristic tool and instrument on the individual crafts? Do you have autism?

The use of this meme is always ironic on multiple levels.

I don't know yet because gameplay hasn't been public so far, but judging from the scale of the game, you can tell that they have a fucking huge budget. journos have been impressed and called it the sleeper hit of E3. I wasn't exaggerating about all the ships and going into scale interiors, a developer interview mentioned that you can for instance control a star destroyer, and it's made out of a ridiculous amount of lego bricks. everything was hand designed by their professional lego-building team or whatever, and some ships took a very long time. I'm definitely interested in how it works out.

Everything in the original star wars was made using a Mish mash of those model planes you used to make. They took them and just created whatever the fuck they could, but it gave star wars a very unique style that stood out. Nobody knows this so you'd think they were just being random but those are all pieces of a set.

nut greeblers btfo

>Now you just ram a ship 1/32 it's size and hit the boosters and push it into something big
In space there's no friction and inertia is easily manipulated.

Imagine that texture on a pelican from halo or the Normandy from ME. It’s meant to make flat models appear detailed with parts

The main problem is over done geometry, way too busy. The texturing doesn't help either.

>In 3D computer graphics, greebles can be created by specific software in order to avoid the time-consuming process of manually creating large numbers of precise, custom geometry. This is often tedious, repetitive work, and may be best suited to automatic, software-based procedural generation, particularly if a great degree of control is unnecessary or the greebles will be small on screen. Most greeble-generating software work by subdividing 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.
soulless

That's ironic since your meming is the exact same Pavlovian reaction.

there are definitely things in video games which are more stupid than greebling. you can probably think of a few if you try.

It's a tool like anything else. Overused or misused and it's shit. Used right, and you probably won't even notice its there.

The developers did say that they made sure every ship in the game could be hypothetically built using real life LEGO pieces, and the ships are to scale with each other, but they never said anything about full scale interiors in every ship, that would just be fucking insane.

Wide-scale ship/station architecture is so criminally underrated.

I don't give a shit about Star Wars, I think the new movies are embarrassing trash and the old ones are boring fantasy, but Star Wars has consistently had good designs.

PS2 era gave us games like MGS2, Shadow of the Colossus and Max Payne 2. Play those games on a modern system and you'll still be impressed, even moreso than if you played some new hyperrealistic muh graphix title.

People often forget how much work "greebles" can do to determine the scale of objects comprised of otherwise simple shapes. The more detailed and compact the greebles are, the bigger the object feels. This can especially help in a space settings where there are no obvious points of reference.

Usually random bullshit grooves on firearms are to reduce weight without reducing the strength of the material, to increase airflow over parts of the weapon that get extremely hot, to vent hot gases in particular ways or directions in order to reduce muzzle flash or noise, and to provide better grip on the firearm where you need to grab it to cycle the action, switch fire mode, release magazine, cock the hammer, or toggle the safety.

Just because someone is technically competent, doesn't mean they understand actual design principles, let alone what kind of project they're working with.

Why would you design a ship with random crap sticking out of everything?

it's not a term for videogames
it George Lucas' term about random shits put on ships for added textures and scope and stuff

By that logic they could have. They could have destroyed the death star or practically any enemy ship by having sac pilots just light speed them. ...or send drones.

If I recall correctly, this is that Wizard of Oz game on the DS??

>Have they even attempted to address that bullshit?

They gave a shoddy "It was a 1 in a trillion chance of happening!" excuse. Basically boiled down to being EXACTLY the right distance away to speed up to light speed but not enter hyperspace.

They just wanted a "Look how cool this looks!" moment with a "We need to balance the fight because opse there is no way the villains can loose now" and threw everything else out the window.

It's called a displacement map. The way you know it isn't bump mapping is that the silhouette isn't a cube.

Not sure the term really applies here because the whole point if that the ships are covered in gothic architecture which actually looks like that. Like, those aren't just random little techy bits and shapes plastered all over it, those are entire fucking buildings. In fact, what actually makes this funny is that these ships are the OPPOSITE of greebling. If you look at the front of the ship, it's pretty no nonsense and is almost entirely flat surface.

...I don't think you want your nuts to be greebled.

I'm sure you have personal experience

Oooooo

How do you square this with the fact that mecha and sci fi tech like this is physically impossible

Well there was that one time I was at a swimming pool and slipped just before jumping in. Did the splits and landed straight on the edge.

My nuts certainly felt greebled that day

the impossible part usually just comes down to not enough power for the size, or materials not strong enough for the weight
so it becomes really easy to just go "oh, we invented this advanced generator" or "we found this material that's super strong for it's weight" and this logic goes for everything really, "thrusters too weak?we invented these better ones"

In retrospect, putting the command base right on the top where it's a target probably wasn't the best idea.

Star Destroyers are one of the best uses of greeble, since it helps to convey the sheer scale of one. Each of those tiny boxes is the size of a room, some as large as houses. Doubly so for Super Star Destroyers, since each one is like the same size as Manhattan.

I think OP's point is that greeble is used like a digital structure brush to feign complexity and functionality where none is present.

Take a look at pretty much any modern FPS game, especially ones set in the future, everyone looks so fucking overcomplicated it has no visual identity and you get lost everywhere so you need objective markers

I've never played a Halo and even I'm insulted by the armor on the bottom

i agree and those faggots are using it incorrectly greeble should only be used for big objects not small objects

all of these are considered greebles

True, replying to trolls is unwise.

You can be sure that those things are shaped the way they are for function.
When random clutter is put on things to add complexity with no purpose I think that is what greeble is.

You need help though.

Hand placed design objects with actual functionality are most certainly never considered greebles or an example of greeble in general, unless one was to try and act like an aloof export on fictional earospace engineering.

Yeah of course. But since it is sci-fi you can't really tell which part is fuctional and wich is not. You can't even tell fuction of parts on the ISS photo so how can you judge whether some part of spaceship from 24th century is fuctional of just greeble?

That's not what I wrote or even implied though.

My point is that randomized placements, shapes, and textures of rocks, trees, and foliage can look every bit as non-functional and stupid as, for instance, randomized welding lines on the hull of a ship.

But they won't look that way to people who don't care about accurate portrayals of nature. Just like people don't don't care much about functional sci-fi gadgets won't notice whether a certain antenna or hatch does something useful or not.

I'm not saying both are good things. I'm saying both are things developers do, and some are better at getting away with it than others.

If you overuse visual complexity for every object, even the unimportant ones, it can overwhelm a scene. Your eye doesn't know what to focus on, and it's hard to see small details at a distance.

all of that has function though

so does everything, just because you don't know what it does, doesn't mean it has no function
which means, by your definition, greeble doesn't exist

You hate utility and functionality?

rifle is heavy
rifle isn't heavy

Is it a useful function? Do you need rails on four different sides of your rifle for it to put holes in things accurately at a distance?

yes

the whole point of greeble is to give the illusion of functionality for the sake of design, which can make certain aesthetics and designs really fucking ugly. look at the Halo 5 examples earlier.

you can't say that about real life because all that noisy shit does have functionality. it's not noise for the sake of noise.

my god, zoomerism really is an epidemic

That's not really what anyone is talking about.

Greebles and greeble as a phenomenon is specifically when non-functional stuff is added by an artist to make things look cool, rather than when a design ends up looking cluttered from having to serve a multitude of functions.

Whether we here can effectively identify if this process has taken place is slightly irrelevant to the category of a design in question.

So you don't have an argument, cool.

Intelligently designed spacecraft would be shaped like cylinders, spheres, or triangles with the command center somewhere in the middle, near the center of mass where the crew would experience the smallest interial forces.

It's not even a stupid idea to put the bridge sticking out like that because it's exposed. It's also a stupid idea because if you try and spin the spacecraft too fast you turn everyone on the birdge into spaghetti. This is one of those things I hadn't even considerd being an issue until I started playing children of a dead earth and splattered my crew for exactly this reason.

Also if you don't have magic space engines for propulsion, then your combat ship should have a low-thrust high-isp propulsion segment that can attach/detech from the combat segment which has a high-thrust low-isp engine. This makes the most economical design sense: You use the high efficiency engine to travel between areas of interest and strategically maneuver, then you use the combat engines for, well, combat; when you need to make a 4g burn for 30 seconds or you die.

Since the engine designs are so wildly different for these two situations, you want to stage your space warship so that it can take off the economy engines when its fightin time.

Going back and rationalizing designs is like, half of what actual industrial engineers and architects do, though. And when they really can't, they make adjustments. Proper designers for fiction make adjustments to the placements of random cool thingamabobs on their early sketches too.

Some don't. And the results are often obvious greebles, or in the case of games, obvious greeble textures. Not just concerning vehicle engineering, but for character outfits, equipment, and architecture as well.

But feel free to be a stickler AND a victim, if you think Yea Forums doesn't know what they're talking about.

It looks like the spaceship has acne.

3D textures are a thing.

So you make a dumb comment, then divert the discussion right after, and then refer back to your original dumb comment when asked about what your point is?

The term wasn't "suddenly" coined, and the phenomenon of adding detail to a surface purely for the sake of interest has been discussed in popular visual design for half a century at least.

Whether it's something to be upset about, like some here seem to be, is an entirely different discussion though.

Fuck you, Chuck Jones had the best art style.

A displacement map or normal map IS a texture. And what's used in OP's image obviously is a displacement map.

Very few ever really do it that way, though, so while it's technically correct, it's still stupid.

Someone seemed to imply that greeble as a term was "suddenly coined" for something that used to just be "adding detail".

When pointed out that this wasn't sudden at all, the discussion was then apparently diverted to concern what would constitute "sudden" or "old as fuck".

When asked whether this diversion was meant to imply that the term holds no merit because of its perceived age category, I was told to go back and read it again.

My only way forward from there was to reiterate that the term isn't a sudden invention, and elaborate that it doesn't concern any and all acts of adding detail.

It would look like a spaceship where only things describing its functionality and the necessary means of constructing it had been drawn/modeled.

Of course, an aesthetically pleasing space ship is likely to also look like something people would subconsciously recognize, but that's regular artistic freedom, I'd say.

I think Bugatti is supposed to have said something about ugly things probably not having found their ideal functionality, and they'd work better if they also looked better.

That's not the point. The point is, PBR in and of itself has nothing do with "soul", it's just a rendering technique. What matters is how it's used. His bottom example would've still looked worse than the top even without PBR due to changes in environmental artists between the two games.

Wasn't this invented in the 70's by films like Alien and Star Wars because it made little model ships able to look absolutely gigantic?

That's because just switching to PBR does nothing, you actually have to tweak the masks/values to get a proper use out of it.

It's yet another ploy by fucking artists who don't know a single fucking thing about gameplay, and want to make screenshots that look good rather than communicate information clearly and easily to the player.
Simple shapes, flat colors, clear outlines. That is what your brain processes easily, and the extra 5 milliseconds it takes your brain to notice what that messy blob is matter in games.
Artists of course don't actually play games so they have no fucking clue, and proceed to damage their own product's primary purpose by making it "look nice".

culture GSVs can look like pretty much anything they want to since the hull is only force field, so why choose anything but smooth and featureless? Although I'm sure there are lots that run whatever meme look they feel like doing that day.

B has aliasing

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

Wow. You literally know nothing about any of this, and you're greentexting at max speed, claiming that I am the one seething.

Well trolled.

Top: The original show
Bottom: The "Teenage" show.

Aside from all the other issues.

yes

Now THIS is epic

That's kibble.

And remember that game ran at pretty much locked 60 fps and was a GameCube exclusive.

It's better design most of the time to make textures have a bit of dirt or rust or dents rather than have them be utterly pristine too. That doesn't mean they make the whole thing out of rust. You're being a faggot with your exaggeration and your strawmen.

Adding dust and dents to a texture meant to represent a material where it's fitting isn't ever to be considered greeble though, you Megamind you, and user never implied anything like that.

>>cel-shading
Whats wrong with cel-shading? youre not one of those retards who think fortnite is cel-shaded are you?

It's possible within the rules of their own setting, so it can be internally consistent and believable, which is usually what they're going for rather than actual realism.
You literally couldn't have sci-fi at all if everything within it had to be detailed and provably possible. We don't know what future technology will be like or precisely how it will work until we invent it, and then it isn't future technology at all.

This is an absolutely pathetic form of greebling. People use a similarly named technique when it comes to making Lego models, except people create the illusion of panel lines which looks more detailed without being such a fucking mess like this.

OP's image is just an example for highlighting the mehcanics of the effect. Which it's pretty good at.

It's not meant as an example of "doing it well" or "getting away with it".

Look at all the greebling the art team put on this ship, it's so unrealistic. It should just be smooth and flat!
