Dear Friends of Silo,

We're excited to announce the release of Silo 2.5.5!

Our Silo updates continue! This update adds a significant new (and much-requested) feature: segmented bevel with adjustable rounding. The new functionality is integrated within the existing Bevel tool, with two new fields added to the Bevel Options window: Segments, and Rounding. You can see an explanatory video of the new Bevel in action here. Please try it out and send along any feedback you may have, as this feature may continue to change over time.

To Download: This is a free update for all Silo 2.x Pro license holders, and you should download your update to Silo 2.5.5 the same way you originally purchased the program: via the Mac App Store, Steam, or the Nevercenter website.

As always, we love to hear from you on the CGTalk Silo Forums, Trello, Facebook, and Twitter. Happy modeling!

Best,
Nevercenter

 

We have a video all about it up on YouTube! Take a look:
 

Dear Friends of CameraBag,

CameraBag Pro for Windows has exited beta and is now officially released!

CameraBag Pro (formerly called CameraBag Cinema) includes all of the great photo editing capabilities of CameraBag Photo but also supports recoloring and filtering videos, and includes additional motion film emulation presets plus the ability to import and export filter LUTs. Until now CameraBag Pro has only been available for Mac OS—now officially released on Windows, you can download it from here: Download CameraBag Pro

We’ve also created a new unified site to show CameraBag Photo and CameraBag Pro side-by-side and help better show the similarities and differences between the two—take a look at https://nevercenter.com/camerabag.

All license codes for CameraBag Pro and CameraBag Photo purchased via nevercenter.com work on both Mac and PC—and this includes past purchases, so if you currently have a CameraBag Pro (or formerly CameraBag Cinema) license code, you will automatically now be able to use it on both operating systems.

As always, we love to hear from you! Show us what you're creating, give us feedback, and join the conversation by following @nevercenter on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

Dear Friends of CameraBag,

The new #EditedInCameraBag video series has just launched!

We get lots of questions asking how to achieve a specific photo or video goal. We do our best to help answer these questions individually, but we thought we could do better: so we've decided to create the #EditedInCameraBag video series on our YouTube Channel in which each episode explores using the different tools in CameraBag to improve a specific photo or video.

You can see the entire playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBJ9U0NYh_Hj7dtWcORA3RYVP8zgA25-v

The first video looks at a vacation beach photo, and shows how the Tone Curve, Hue Saturation, Color Curve, and Luminance adjustments can bring out the vibrance and warmth of the experience. The second takes a different approach, starting with an already-filtered photo and showing how CameraBag can help "de-filter" unwanted effects. More to come soon!

Do you have questions about using CameraBag that you'd like answered? We'd love to hear from you and potentially answer your question in an upcoming episode! Drop us a line in the video comments, to @nevercenter on social media, or by emailing us at support@nevercenter.com.

Best,
Nevercenter
