First impression : the created greebles often intersect each others with no "correct" intersection geometry ... (ie no sliced surfaces ...).
So if you subdivide the object, it looks really different than the original one.
Is that the way it is supposed to be ?

Subdiving the greebles can give great effects. If you want to add greebles to a subdivided object, like in tbd's, you'll need to commit subdivisions first.

Yes - multiple may overlap but you can reduce to maximum per surface to 1 so you only get one on each.

I must say, I almost wet myself when I discovered that you can use custom greeble. That is not an option, as far as I know, in any of the other greeble plugins you can get for Lightwave or 3dstudiomax or Blender. This is an historic moment people

Yes, that is the intended behavior. there's no slice/boolean that unions the greebles on a surface (I actually hadn't thought of subdividing the greebles until Andy'd mentioned it). They're just stuck there on top of one another...

On a side note, I am seeing that some of the settings may need to be tweaked a bit. Looks like my min/max bevel height isn't working past a relatively low threshold, and I need to raise the limits of the greeble heights as well so you can get more dramatic effects without manually keying in the numbers.

Look for updates soon.
