What are you working on in Silo 2?

Hey folks,

If you don't want to bother starting a whole new thread, post a pic here of your current WIP in 2.0. All skill levels are welcome.

Hi,

I downloaded Silo 2 Beta early this morning. After playing around for a while, I painted a silly face:

I know, it is rubbish, but I enjoyed painting it at 5 am

I tried to export it as an obj and load into Lightwave Modeler, but I just got the base mesh. Is obj Export something that is still being worked on?

Also, important question, are we aloud to post images made in Silo 2 on other forums?

The clothes look sweet!

Im trying to dig up an old version of Thunderbird from my backup archives - the Silo serial is bound to be there somewhere

I really should have started this days ago.. sucks not being able to use the beta while its installed on my computer!

Here's what i'm working on, it's a bit buggy but i'm already in love with it

Teyon · 08-18-2006, 06:49 AM

I'd have to agree. A bit buggy now and then and I can see I'll need more ram then my 1gig, but I love this program.

Now that I've tested it on this head, I'm going in for a body shot next....bwahahahaha!

Edit: As promised, I've started a body. I'm so loving Silo 2! Great work everyone at Nevercenter and great work to all who've posted here before me.

lovisx · 08-18-2006, 07:56 AM

can you tell I stayed up late... it's four in the morning and I have to work today... sigh

Teyon · 08-18-2006, 07:59 AM

lol, you and me both! (and I have two gigs). That's looking awesome by the way. Very Burne Hogarth.

lovisx · 08-18-2006, 08:04 AM

that's funny because I have his dynamic figure drawing right under my nose on my desk

Teyon · 08-18-2006, 08:18 AM

I've got him somewhere around here...I keep meaning to pop him open again just to get a refresher. It's been about a year since the last time. Here's more on that lord awful mosnter/alien thing. Anatomy kind of went out the window because...well...it's 4am dude.

brook · 08-18-2006, 08:19 AM

abyss103 · 08-18-2006, 08:32 AM

Haven't had much time to mess around with this, just posting this before I go to sleep (sounds like a few of you could use sleep as well :P).

brook · 08-18-2006, 08:41 AM

you should try to select the faces on the mode left and try modify->mirroring->symmetrize selection

phile · 08-18-2006, 09:33 AM

It's not like me to get excited over a bit of beta software, but Silo 2 has actually managed it. Not only did I do the work below in under ten minutes - never having used the software before, but I did it with a wacom tablet (which I have previously always found to be useless for 3D work - maybe that's just me though). Clearly a fine bit of design from Nevercenter!

ok so leave it to me to post something completely lame but hey I am not all that talented LOL...but I did manage to fiddle about with something just for fun so here it is LOL

PS NO LAUGHING! :-P

DaveLEWIS · 08-18-2006, 10:15 AM

Because of some graphics card issues while painting I had to use alot of pinch because it was the quickest way to get sharpness. Usually though I would build up an area with one big stroke, then another smaller stroke, subd, another small stroke, and then smoothing on both sides.

Again I have to give praise to the nevercenter team. I didn't have to spend any time figuring out hotkeys to displacement paint, and even with the graphics card problem, I felt the most comfortable in silo then any other displacement package. The fact that you have a different set of hotkeys just for displacement is sooooo intuitive.

just testing out the alpha stamping a bit

and some alpha painting:

will be very handy indeed! (can't wait to start generating normals

)

I am so glad to finally have the Beta. Great work Jam and Feed, it has not disapointed. Very solid Beta. Only crashed a few times for me. It is much more useful than ZB imo so far.

Detailed the Base-Mesh that I'm currently working on. There is also a torso and a head, but they aren't detailed yet so this arm is all I am showing. Still needs some more work on the underside and the front, updates soon. Have to go to work now, can't wait until I have a whole day free to use Silo.
