My silo fun!I must say that Tony’s character tutorial rocks! IMO, its more of a tutorial about modeling then it is silo but its still delicious all the same.

So this is were I am so far. I don’t really want to copy the model poly per poly because I want to end up making this guy my own but the method and workflow of the tutorial is helping out tons. Thank you Tony.

It is, however, a testiment to silo, being my first model made in the app. Lovely soft. Has loads of potential. Lacks some basic and vital functions but its still a youngin. Dare to hope people.

Hi Mahlikus

Nice and clean mesh!
Would you really recommend Silo to a seasoned Wings user? I mean, I tried out the demo (mainly because I was really curious about the topology brush), but I just couldn’t get into it. Perhaps the UI needs to be customized intensely, I must admit I was too lazy for that…did you model away using the standard UI?

Zbrush and Silo are two programs that I rarely use the UI to work with. Quick keys are the way to go, IMO, and it doesn’t take long to learn them in either app.

If you like Wings, and are efficient with it, you probably don’t need Silo. Personally, I don’t like Wings, but I do like Silo. But I can understand if others feel differently.

Looks like you have a good start there MTB. Tony’s tutorials are awesome, and I’m glad so many people are giving him credit for them. Keep up the good work man, and keep us posted on your progress!

Hi Mahlikus, how did you customize your interface? That looks a lot more useful than the standard silo interface.

…you can create your own interface and save it for other users :slight_smile:
You can find the MtB Interface version 0.3 here :slight_smile: (slide the page)

Thanks for that comment.
I don’t think I an that great but practice does make perfect.

Mahlikus I have sent you a Private Message asking a few questions.

Yeah, I know buddy I am sorry. These server models I have been doing are for a client and the deadline is high and hard. I will write you a nice long and just response but right now, I seriously up to my eyeballs. I tell you what when it comes down to another rendering session, I start the response and work on it while I the scanline pops out another images. after the bulk of the modeling is done, I have some storyboards to create for a flash/3D movie/presentation so it might not get there until monday, who knows what time I’ll have. I promise though, I did get it and read it and am not ignoring you. Just have to get back to it. I haven’t even really slept since early friday morning.

I thought that might me the case. Take care of business. As well as your health!
You will be able to answer better after you get some sleep anyhow. I would preach about not pulling all nighters, but I recently indulged my obsessions as well. The server models are looking good. I don’t see them here, but I do remember seeing them. The client should be very pleased.

EDIT: He got back to me.
