I just want to say that Greeble is awesome. I've used it a few times and it's so much fun to use (and time saving!)

I use it on my 3ds Max 2011 with Vista 32-bit, and I have not problems with it.

I gona give a try to Greeble, thanks

thanks . i will try it as well !

brilliant, just brilliant. my hat goes off to you sir! works wonderfully.

I have download this plugins and it works perfectly !
Amazing plugins ! Thanks for sharing Very Happy

.

I do not know how to judge this fix,I haven't use it!

Hi 'Mr Klankster',

great plug in if only I could get it to work. I have downloaded it and tried to extract into both 2010 +2011 Max and Max design with no luck. I have the correct version and have tried both the 64 and 32 bit plugins. Have also tried both the 'plugins' folder and 'stdplugs' folder. My plugins folder continually shows as empty. Even when I try to reinstall to the plugins folder, I get the message (file already exists...do you want to overwrite) but the folder still shows as empty and the Greeble doesn't show up in the modifier panel ( 'below flex') or anywhere else for that matter. Have looked in the plugin manager and no sign there either.

my OP Sys is windows 7 pro 64

any help/advice appreciated,

thanks in advance, Craig

Incidentally, the problem is I found happens in XP 64 as well as Vista, and I was getting sporadic crashes in XP 32. The bug I fixed was due to some map channels that weren't being handled properly by the plugin.

OK, I think I have a fix for the crashes some of you have been having. I have a test build for Greeble 1.6 up on my website for Max 2010 32- and 64-bit. I tested it against a known crasher and it works fine in my tests.

Unfortunately this forum won't let me post a message with a link to the file! Hmm. Confused

If you want to test the fix, drop me an email at: tom [at] klanky [dot] com

I can then send you the test version to try out.

Thanks!

THANK you. I've been using Greeble since 3Ds Max R3! I don't really use Max that much anymore (switched to Blender, since it's really very nice now), but I very much appreciate your work.

Im having the same vista problem on windows 7 (x64).

Greeble works fine on primitives but will crash on poly/mesh shapes.

The plugin works w/simple geometry (i.e. a plane). It crashes with more complex geometry (i.e. a poly mesh w/extrusions)

... and I am looking into the problem with Greeble and Vista. There is NO REASON I can determine that would cause this to happen. It is the same code running under Vista and XP and should work.

Unfortunately, I don't have Vista installed on any of my computers and so can't test this problem -- I use Windows XP 64 because it works, and because it works there was no need to replace it with Vista.

Sorry about the trouble, but when I get a solution I'll post information on my findings.

Incidentally, to get the Greeble help file on my site to work, you must right click on the .chm file, select "Properties", then click on the "Unblock" button and then click on "Apply" -- Some dumb security measure Microsoft requires. That enables the help file to work.

The Greeble plugin is almost synonymous with max.
Thanks Klankster

More from 3DMax 4 Greeble was my favorite plug-ins to create spaceships.

Downloaded & installed it again today, and OH JOY! it works. Still no luck on the helpfile though. Says "navigation to the webpage cancelled". Can anyone explain this? What webpage?

Same problem as Darke. Max 2010 crashes immediately on applying Greeble, on 64bit Vista at any rate. Very disappointing, since I've been a fan of this plugin since about max 2 or 3(and of Tom Hudson, since Degas Elite and CAD-3D on the Atari ST--anyone else remember that far back?). Klanky's website offers a helpfile, but that's no use either. It has a contents list, but no contents!

How do you texture greeble buildings like have a brick texture for the walls and a concrete texture for the roof and a road texture for the ground??? Dose anyone know how any help wwould be helpful.

Ok, I am sorry for my post, but I really like Greeble plugin, I use it from 3ds max R7 and it´s really great help for Space ship final tounch. Actually I work on one free project, and I know Greeble can be great help, but It wont work on Vista 64bit on any version of Max (it work, but it crash extremnly often). I tried it on both PC, so I want to ask autor about this problem, but I really cannot find direct contact. So, I am sorry again and bye.

3DCGI: directory: stdplugin (standarts plugin for 3ds max, there are default plugins but you can add your own) OR plugins (User plugins)

Darke, greeble plugin is not something used by all 3d artists. I've never used it and I can not answer your question.

After millions of page searching i have finally found the greeble 2010 plugin.
Now where do you mount it in the directory?

Ok.. thansk for (no)responese, it even inpossible sent PM on this forum... It´s really "usefull"

I have big problem with Greeble.. I tried use it on 3Ds Max R9 version (on notebook, of course version of greeble for R9) and on 3Ds Max 2010 (on Desktop). On Both Pc I have same error when I try use it on editable poly, or Editable Mesh (in new scene with simple object it sometimes work) 3Ds Max freez and Crash, on both pc is instaled Vista 64bit..

i love greeble. thanks a lot! and i love your approach too.
