Nurnies are bits of detail on objects, usually models, both physical and computer generated, of fictional technology, that serve no real purpose other than to add complexity to the object. The detail can be made from geometric primitives, including cylinders, cubes, and rectangles, combined to create intricate, but meaningless, surface detail. Nurnies are commonly found on models or drawings of fictional spacecraft in science-fiction. Nurnies are closely related to greebles.

The term was coined by Ron Thornton, a pioneering 3D artist and founder of Foundation Imaging.

In the movie Short Circuit 2, Johnny 5 says "Don't forget the nurnies" while assembling a toy version of himself.

A greeble is a small piece of detailing added to break up the surface of an object to add visual interest to a surface or object, particularly in movie special effects. Greebles are closely related to nurnies.
