Nevercenter’s Silo 1.4 is the latest subdivision-surface (sub-d) modeler to hit the market, and at $109, it’s one of the best 3-D-software bargains in years. Silo’s interface is fast, efficient, and highly customizable. Its smart tools let you work on half-models with symmetric mirroring; you can quickly join faces on separate objects and blend shapes seamlessly into single surfaces. Silo 1.4 lets you draw directly on sub-d surfaces to create new geometry—a capability we have yet to see in more-expensive 3-D suites. This video is more than 8 hours of training specifically designed to take beginners to the next level and intermediate users to that next modeling plateau. After showing you the interface and tool set, Glen takes you through a detailed one hour tutorial of the topology brush. This is an amazing tool in Silo and can save your modeling projects. Lastly Glen shows you how to model semi complex objects in Silo, in this case the cover image. This detailed model gives you amazing examples of different modeling tools and techniques. In classic Glen style, you will be modeling like a pro in no time... well in about 8 hours. Topics Covered: Session 1 - Introducing the interface and tools Summary - Aimed at artists not only new to SILO but perhaps new to polygonal modeling altogether. This section takes a very methodical look at every tool and feature available in the drop down menus. Each tool is explored enough to allow the viewer to understand its use or application. Can be used in conjunction with the SILO help file or as a reference section. Interface Basics File Menu Edit Menu Create Modify Subdivision Selection Materials and Light Display Options Help Session 2 - Topology Brush and how to use it Level - Beginner/Intermediate. Aimed at artists who are familiar with basic modeling concepts and have a good grasp of the basic tools used in creating a polygonal mesh. Summary - A training session in how to take a high polygon model (A 100,000 polygonal head created in Pixologic's ZBrush) and use the Topology Brush to draw a grid that will be used to create all new geometry with accurate edge loops. Session 3 – Modeling Project Level - Intermediate. Aimed at artists who are familiar with basic modeling concepts and are competent with the SILO toolset Summary - This section expands on the earlier ones showing how to put the relevant tools into practice in a live modeling environment. A project based work through a modeling session.

You would be hard to find a professional CGI site that does not have Glen's work on it somewhere. He has been a freelance CGI artist for 8 years working with Silo, ZBrush and LightWave 3D and other 2D/3D applications. Glen has worked closely with Nevercenter for sometime now and has been involved as a beta tester on the last major version. When Pixologic looks for amazing art work to promote news or new software releases often they contact Glen Southern. You will also find him very interactive with the 3D community on various forums and providing free training from his site and many others. Glen works and lives in Staffordshire in the UK and spends most of his time modeling in 3D or Sculpting with Super Sculpey. You can frequently find him online and very willing to help others.
