nurnie

Share definition Flag
In 3d modeling, these are modular assemblies of small detail models applied to the surface of larger models to add visual interest/complexity to otherwise plain areas. The detail models are generally designed to look like they serve some sort of mechanical/technological function, although what said function is specifically is typically ambiguous.

The term dates back to at least the 1970s, when it was used among cinematic special effects artists to refer to physical models used in the same way in the construction of props and miniatures. At that time, they were often made from kitbashed hobby models of battleships, tanks, and cars.

Today, the term usually refers to digital 3d models of this nature, which are created in the same manner as any other 3d model, but reused repeatedly to speed up the process of creating subsequent models.

It can also be used as a verb to describe the act of applying nurnies.
The Death Star, when shown up close, is covered in nurnies. That's no moon. It's like 1000 hours worth of pieces of plastic boat.

I don't want to design any spaceships today, so I say for these Star Destroyers, we nurnie these enormous arrow shaped piece of foamcore. Who's with me?

That robot looks cool, but it doesn't seem technologically complex enough. Nurnie it up, buttercup.

nurpie 

Share definition Flag
a state of being in which you are past the point of exhaustion and have rebooted into an artificial energy.

signs of "nurpie" are as such: many things (most of them, completely ridiculous) seem hilarious to you, you make strange remarks, you ramble on and on about random things, you have conversations with yourself, and uncontrollable laughter occurs.

most commonly occurs between the hours of midnight and four am. naturally, most often involving teenagers.

"nurpie" is basically the same thing as "slap happy"...it just sounds more appealing.
charlotte- "..no i just called her, she was going to...oh my gosh! look at that chip! it looks exactly like president nixon. you know what?..i don't even know what that dude looked like, so nevermind. i have to pee. have you ever wondered why "p"?...why not "f" or one of the other twenty-four letters? you know what?..i bet if letters were like people, all the letters would be prejudiced against "p" because he's associated with urination."

logan- "uhhh..yeah. someone's a little nurpie tonight. frick."
