Blender I found, is terrible to use as the GUI is a mess and things take much longer in the workflow because of this.

EDIT: BTW @ mods: This topic should be moved into the "Tools" section as it's not about 3DGS... Enjoy your meal Toast Last edited by Toast; 06/14/08 11:02.

It has a different look to its subdivisions which make it perfect for very specific geometry. If I get time later I might(low possibilty) post some images on the differences between subdivisions made with maya and silo 2. The short story uis that for me personally, silo 2 has a nurbs-like appearence which creates a nice mesh for machined-curved geometry whereas I have a more organic look with maya. So to conclude I think silo 2 is very good for very specific purposes.

Wings3D is a nice tool (used it myself but kinda discarded it in that phase where the developer abandoned it for quite a while) but I'm willingly paying for something that makes work a bit more fast and comfortable and I think Silo has a pretty reasonable price and is plain great for modelling as it's highly intuitive and powerful at the same time... Not that I want to do big advertisements here but just go and download the trial version (you don't have to register or something for that) and give it a try. When I did I just didn't want to use something else anymore. Well until I find something better... ^^ Enjoy your meal Toast
