poly greeble
Poly Greeble is a powerful procedural greeble generator plugin for Cinema 4D designed to add high-density surface detail to your models in seconds. By distributing and repeating small prebuilt detail elements across your geometry, Poly Greeble allows you to create complex, production-ready surfaces that would normally take hours to model by hand.
It is ideal for sci-fi assets, hard-surface models, environments, props, and abstract designs where surface complexity and visual interest are essential.
Tested and working in Cinema 4D R15-2026
Poly Greeble Core Features
- Provides the fastest way to populate your scene with detail
- Create complex meshes out of any polygon or primitive object
- 3 different structure modes to tweak how you see fit
- Interactive viewer for your Greeble objects
- Mix it up with random variations of everything
Generate Massive Amounts of Procedural Surface Detail
Using small prebuilt greeble models repeated hundreds or even thousands of times across your geometry, Poly Greeble creates an intricate level of detail with minimal effort. This approach allows you to achieve a sophisticated, layered look that would be extremely time-consuming to build manually.
Because everything is generated procedurally, you can experiment freely with different settings and instantly see the results update in the viewport.
Three Levels of Procedural Control
Poly Greeble gives you fine control over how detail is applied through three main control layers: Bases, Panels, and Antennas. Each layer can be adjusted independently, allowing you to decide exactly how much detail you want in different areas of your model.
You can push the plugin toward dense, highly complex results or dial everything back for a cleaner and more minimal look. Any layer can also be disabled entirely, making Poly Greeble flexible enough for a wide range of styles and use cases.
Rapid Exploration and Creative Iteration
Poly Greeble is built for rapid iteration. If you are not happy with the look on one mesh, simply drop a new object into the generator and your settings are applied instantly. This makes it easy to test ideas, compare variations, and explore creative directions without rebuilding your setup.
This fast feedback loop makes Poly Greeble especially useful for concept development, look design, and experimentation.
Fully Procedural and Non-Destructive Workflow
All Poly Greeble results remain fully procedural and non-destructive. Your original geometry is never altered, and all parameters can be adjusted at any time.
This makes Poly Greeble safe to use in both early exploration stages and final production scenes.
Designed for Hard-Surface & Sci-Fi Work
-Add complex surface detail in seconds
-Perfect for sci-fi, mechanical, and abstract designs
-Fully procedural and adjustable
-Fast viewport feedback for creative iteration
-Poly Greeble is designed to help Cinema 4D artists achieve rich, detailed surfaces without sacrificing speed or flexibility.
Greeble Library Included
Poly Greeble includes a curated set of greeble elements that are ready to use out of the box. These components are designed to work well together, ensuring consistent results across different models and scales.
You can use the included assets as-is or combine them with your own custom geometry to create unique surface detail styles.
