Get into Silo The Definitive Guide
Training by Glen Southern
 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.
