Overview
Silo 2 is a software that is devoted to modeling. It is normally used as part of a workflow along with a number of other software packages because Silo alone cannot perform tasks like texturing and animation.{{cite web|url=http://nevercenter.com/silo/|title = Silo}} It can be used for anything from creating 3D characters for video games and movies to exploring 3D architectural ideas. Silo also features an uncluttered design with a minimalistic user interface. It supports import and export of {{Not a typo|.sia}}, {{Not a typo|.sib}}, {{Not a typo|.obj}}, {{Not a typo|.3ds}}, {{Not a typo|.dxf}}, {{Not a typo|.fac}}, {{Not a typo|.dae}}, and {{Not a typo|.fbx}}, as well as the export only of {{Not a typo|.stl}}, {{Not a typo|.pov}}, and {{Not a typo|.rib}}.{{cite web|url=https://nevercenter.com/silo/features/|title = Feature List}}
