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, sculpting and parametric modeling, with customizable keyboard, mouse and interface settings. 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 connects with Unity and Unreal. A Blender Bridge plugin lets Blender objects be edited in Silo and updates Blender models when saved there. A purchase includes Milo, an Early Access real-time renderer and VR viewer powered by Unreal Engine, with high-resolution image export and VR viewing. The download includes a seven-day trial. A license includes one year of free upgrades, and the maker says extensions are available; it is not a subscription. The listed Silo + Milo plan is $159 a month.
