When I started my Bryce cityscapes I had hoped that people would take it a step further and use it for such things as greebles which to me was obvious. I mean, it is just a step away in the procedure. I offer this as a greeble solution for background images using Bryce.

Using my cityscape tutorial in Photoshop when you come to adjusting the height of the buildings, you bring it way down. Then using a gradient brush effect, draw pipes going between the sections you want it to. Adjust the brush between 0 and 90 degrees even a 45 would add more perspective. Mind you, the buildings are at different heights. In the map, use circles, eleipses, rounded rectangles...whatever to get your greeble across.

Then delete those parts that dont conform to your finished image. Im sure this could be taken to a new level. And Im waiting to see it.

This can be used for small sections of greebling in Bryce. Because its random, unless you can subscribe a use for it, it should remain in background fill. Most greebling should be attributed to something that seems to have a use. My 2 cents.
