Silo 2

I am making an aspect on the fact that I have just started to study 3d modeling, so maybe I do not know something in the mechanics of the SOFTWARE, and the simulation itself. I Bought this program because I was not satisfied with Blender. I Will compare the Silo with Blender (Ohm), because both programs I fell. You belong to the class of beginners, like me, then: Pluski (+) ON costs only 1600 p. Buying it you will not have problems with the publication of their models for commercial and personal use. And I can assure you that a less adequate program for the price you will not find-a Friend, but Blender and it is free!? (+) The Interface is fully customizable (and, speaking completely, I mean ALL). Background Color, size and icons, auxiliary buttons, changing everything that your heart desires, in this big plus, because I made a fitting as in Blender. On the site of the program itself, there are plugins that change the interface (saw visualization as in Maya, but having installed on the laptop, everything was distorted:)) (+) Interface is not loaded In this plan many thanks to the developer that there are no unnecessary tools on the screen working Table (so I do not like Blender), but at all you can call the teams Cons (-) The Main minus, it is the absence of Tutorialov If you study this program from scratch, it is generally very difficult, I'm used to that the Russian tutorial is not enough, but when they are not even on Zakbugornaya language (sometimes have to look even in Spanish \ German and other languages), it is generally sad. Alas, there are very old tutorials, and some are not relevant. I found one book on the Russian, but that, not much helped. To study the method of poking and comparing commands with Blender (ohm). (-) Quick commands for some Reason they work strangely. I suspect that there is some kind of my jamb because they do not work under any certain circumstances, this problem I am studying now. P. S. Found what was the problem. It Turns out that it responds to the keyboard layout. It Turns out that the commands can be bindable and on the Russian layout. In Short I, not knowing that the Russian layout, pressed the button M (although actually wanted V). However, for unknown reasons, they still sometimes do not work ((-) The program itself unfortunately, the program crashes, and happens quite often. There are problems with the export of Modelek (in any case personally I have). FBX files, why then reduce the model, and changes the position of Modelka in space (and if you rotate it, it does it incorrectly (need a clear selection of degrees, so that the model "stood on the Feet \ Sex"). 3DS is the best option, but when exporting, occurs Something not comprehensible with symmetry, and in different places of a modelka there is some shift (for example: There is an edge which leads to the middle of a modelka, and on idea this edge should appear symmetrically, having one common point, but it for some reason to become parallel to this Edge). Bottom Line: Summing up, I regret that there is no recommendation, by type: I Do not know or Controversial. I thought for a long time, to return money for the program or not, because it is still in some incomprehensible condition, and whether it is necessary to pay for it, if there is Blender. I Saw that the program was scored, but I bought it when the update V2, but nevertheless, there is a possibility that the program will be scored again. The Question is, is it worth buying if there is a Blender? Here I can not give a clear answer, because as it is arranged Blender I do not like, too much of everything that is not necessary, some functions are too difficult, in Silo 2 is all much easier. The Absence of the tutorial, of course, greatly complicates life, but, learn here, learn to simulate everywhere, because the team +-roughly the same. Is it Worth spending time studying two programs (i.e. without Blender (a) anywhere, there is no animation)? This question I put myself and now. You Decide. At the site of the developer, I would make it cheaper, or gave a good advertisement, because the SOFTWARE at the border of death. I Didn't see anyone working in this program. If you have read up to this point, then know my score: Controversial. But as the program is not so bad, I recommend, at least to touch \ feel. P.S. After A few hours of work, and quite a lot of departures, still came to the conclusion that it is worth studying Blender. There's a big community, a lot of tutorial, all the bugs are quickly corrected. In Salé and departures, and bugs with the export of Modelek. It is a Pity that this program will not see the light (P. P. S Making The first Modelka in Blender, made such a conclusion: Silo is a very good competitor Blender (U) as 3d modeling. The Only thing you need is a big fix bugs, and simplification of different Primoshek. Make Low Poly The Modelka will be much faster in Silo than in the blender, however you may face the departures, and the problem of importing Modelek. If This will fix it, I will return to Silo)
