Forgiveness for my pedantry, but pretty sure a greeble (or greeblie) is the individual plastic details that they would glue on to create the texture, not the texture itself.
You wouldn’t say a texture is “greeble”.
Edit - and if you’re talking 3d modeling, greebling is done during sculpting, it’s not a texturing step.
It seems to use a similar naming convention as stucco, where the thing that is applied shares the name with the resulting texfure.
Blender modeler here. We often do grebble in geometry nodes. Not sculpting
To be pedantic in return - in 3D modeling you absolutely can add greebling as a bump map or tessellation texture.
I get where you’re coming from but texture in layman term is (microscopic) characteristic of the surface. You wouldn’t appreciate crisp 16bit RGBA pixels in your mouth when you bite an apple.
Back in the days where they used miniatures to do spaceships sometimes the vfx dept. would take model kits and glue the entire plastic sheet, sprues and all, to the miniature. You know, like this.
