Overview

[edit]

Silo 2is a software that is devoted to modeling. It is normally used as part of a workflow along with a number of other software packages because Silo alone cannot perform tasks like texturing and animation.[4]It can be used for anything from creating 3D characters for video games and movies to exploring 3D architectural ideas. Silo also features an uncluttered design with a minimalistic user interface. It supports import and export of.sia,.sib,.obj,.3ds,.dxf,.fac,.dae, and.fbx, as well as the export only of.stl,.pov, and.rib.[5]
