Silo is the best modeller out there for the price! I love it.

Yup, Silo's awesome. You should check the forums to see what the users have been doing.

If you're considering buying Silo you should also check out Wings3D and Hexagon. As I understand it Silo falls somewhere between them feature-wise and price-wise. I'm biased towards wings because I'm fluent in it, haven't put in the hours to really evaluate the others.

Since we have some Silo users gathered here I tried the demo and had problems opening existing OBJ files. The groups were all messed up. The M3 head for example came in as about 10 groups. That makes quite a mess of the morph targets. It looks like any where the groups are seperated in the file causes a seperate group in Silo. Nerd3D

Did you try an obj export of a zeroed body from inside poser, or did you just use the stock obj in the runtime? You may have better luck with an exported one. Wings doesn't like some of the stock ones, also producing loads of groups. It seems to be that 'fragmentation' issue that can be fixed by running them through that 'Stomp' utility first.

I give stomp a try. It was a stock OBJ so that is probably the problem. Thanks Nerd3D

To keep things on topic, I would warn everyone that Silo1.4 lacks the ability to maintain an OBJ's UV info on export, so keep that in mind. The next update, which should appear directly after Siggraph, will have fixed this.

Nerd, When exporting out of Poser into Silo, just have the weld verticies box checked. For some reason, the grouping throws thing way off in Silo, thus the spiked head. -The Starkdog
