The origin of the Greeble / Nurnie The Nurnie has been around for a long time in one form or another and it's exact origin as an application or technique is more than likely unknown. A Nurnie is essentially the small detailed technical part of a larger object. An early physical example of their application was in the production of the spaceships in 2001: A Space Odyssey where they were originally called "widgets" . Another example is the detailing of the classic Space Craft The Imperial Star Destroyer. The original ISD was constructed from a plywood frame and adorned with sheet styrene. Panel lines were cut into the sheet styrene but essentially that left the ship looking extremely bare. Hundreds of model kits were purchased and the model department promptly took pieces of the model kits and cut them up and stuck them along with more sheet styrene to the surfaces of the ship. The ultimate effect was to make the ship appear more believable to the viewer through the addition of these large areas of ancillary details. The Nurnies themselves served no purpose other than to fill space and individually had no definite function to the design of the ship. Although later each Nurnie was given a specific function by either fans or technical illustrators for fan guides. Another example of Nurnie application was the Battlestar Galactica model for the original seventies series which featured on it's hull pieces of Apollo rockets,Saturn rockets and F16 fighter jets with oodles of bits of model tank kits to name a few. The net result of the use of these Nurnies is that of Synergy. Synergy as defined in the dictionary as: "An increase in the value of assets as a result of their combination" or essentially the sum of the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. What that rather deep statement means is that the Nurnies, combined with the basic superstructure of the model; combine to make an effect much greater than the individual pieces would have on their own. Ron Thornton is widely believed to have coined the term "Nurnies" for the use of these little areas of technical detail when used in CGI during the time at which his company F.I. was producing the effects for Babylon 5 - as F.I. predominantly used Lightwave at the time the name "Nurnie" has become synonymous with Lightwave users worldwide for these little things.. 3D Studio Max users also got to use a specific plug-in that would generate random detail on a surface and it was called "Greeble" which is why GREEBLES are the other, arguably more common name; for these little "widgets". | ||
These Greebles/Nurnies are the self same ones that I have personally used over the last decade in my work for clients ranging from Paramount, ZOIC, Threshold Digital and the New Scarlet Production Company! To detail such meshes as the New Galactica & the USS Reliant amongst many many others! Many are based on industry used examples - others from pieces of Airfix and Tamiya model kits and many are simply just made up! But they are not simply pulled from my stock model library - every single one has been rebuilt from scratch! In three different levels of detail! Astute viewers will recognise many of them as they are derived from popular Sci-Fi Shows and Films from the last 30 years! | ||
Meshweaver productions will also be providing Free Gifts along with the collection!
