What Silo is
Silo is a desktop 3D polygonal modeler and UV mapper for macOS and Windows. It provides polygon and subdivision modeling, UV unwrapping, and customizable keyboard, mouse, and interface settings. The application can work as a focused modeler or alongside Maya or Blender, with uses including game assets and ZBrush base meshes. Silo imports and exports SIA, SIB, OBJ, 3DS, DXF, FAC, DAE, and FBX, and exports STL, POV, and RIB. GoZ supports ZBrush workflows, while FBX supports Unity and Unreal workflows. A Blender Bridge plugin lets Blender objects be edited in Silo and updates Blender models when saved. Each purchase includes Milo, an Early Access Unreal Engine renderer and VR viewer with real-time rendering, high-resolution image export, and VR viewing. Downloads include a seven-day trial. A license includes one year of free upgrades and is not a subscription.
