It can be used for anything from creating 3D characters for video games and movies to quickly exploring 3D architectural ideas. Silo is currently being used at top studios worldwide as both a stand-alone design tool and as a versatile element of a multi-software 3D graphics workflow. It is available for both Mac OS X and Windows. Silo’s careful design and its focus on pure modeling allows it to have a free, uncluttered feeling which is simply not possible in larger applications. Whether you are working to precise specifications or sketching out your thoughts, it is much easier to do so in a calm, focused modeling environment. This benefits professionals who are coming to Silo to escape slower, more complex software. It also benefits hobbyists and students, who are able to learn everything they need without having to deal with anything they don’t need. Silo is registered per-user, rather than per-computer or per-OS. A single license allows a Silo user to have Silo installed and registered on up to three computers, in any combination of Mac and PC.
