SILO 3D GALLERIES

FIRST POST TO SILO FORUM 1.02.2004 I had an invite to try SILO out this week and I thought I 'd post a few thoughts. I had an issue when I first installed it and it seems a few of the tools didn't seem to work correctly, split poly being the main one. After a re-install it all seems fine now. I am a big fan of 3D programs with clean interfces and tons of screen space. I use a twin monitor setup so during my first session with SILO I kept the keyboard shortcuts open on the second monitor and adjusted the tools to my preference. I like to keep the most used tools together on a keyboard as after a while I find I don't look down at the keys at all. I quickly mapped split poly to `N`, Connect to `M`, Merge vets to `,`, poly from verts to .`. This gives me a well used, easy acces bottom row of keys eg. ZXCVBNM,./ and stops me having to hit space and TAB all the time. I've enjoyed my first day with SILO and although slow for an hour or two it soon became second nature.
