Quote - I purchased Silo mainly due to the fact that Fugazi1968 used it in his superb Digital Tailor series.  I tried using his tutorials with Hexagon but I found it too hard, others might find it easy mind.  

Silo looked easy to use in the tutorials and so I tried the trial version, then later purchased it as I found it suited me a lot better than Hexagon.  It was also useful to me when using the Digital Tailor tutorials as, if my model does not look correct, I could rewind the tutorial and take it step by step, much better than trying to follow any manual.  Almost as an added bonus, using the tutorials I have learnt to model some clothes and a  few props while learning Silo along the way (I have no connection with Fugazi1968 other than being a happy customer and having benefited from his help on more than one occasion).

If you do go for Silo try the 'look inside' at Amazon and you will see a code for a discount on the purchase which I used for further savings (I did buy the book though as it seemed the fair thing to do).

 

I have also found Fugazi1968's tutorials excellent for learning to model clothes and Silo is very friendly to learn. A great combination for anyone just starting!
