The latest update to your favorite 3D modeler has arrived!
Silo 2026.2 focuses heavily on smoothing out your production pipeline, delivering sweeping enhancements to nearly all of our import and export formats, alongside several smart workflow and UI upgrades (including things like the long-requested ability for Silo to restore all tool windows on app restart).

Getting your models in and out of Silo flawlessly is crucial, which is why we've overhauled the plumbing for almost every supported file type. You'll notice highly refined FBX capabilities (including better PBR material parsing and subdivision level support) as well as enhanced USD smoothing group handling. We've also tweaked how .glb files operate, ensuring embedded textures now intelligently unzip to a temporary folder to keep your workspace clean. STL handling is much more robust, Z-up axis conversions are better across the board, and we’ve streamlined the interface by moving the subdivision and modifier mesh toggles directly into the general Export Scene Options window.
On the workflow side, we're excited to introduce basic math support directly within all numerical input fields! You can now calculate on the fly and even mix different units in your equations for ultimate precision. All tool windows now remember their states between application restarts, which has been a longstanding annoyance we're overjoyed to finally deliver you from. Add in improved drag-and-drop functionality for images in the Material Editor, plus a generous round of bug fixes (Blender Bridge issues, tab focus issues, and more - see below), and this release is built to make your daily modeling sessions smoother than ever.

New in 2026.2:
- Improvements to virtually every import and export format (improved gltf triangulation and handling of transform matrices; glb embedded textures now unzip to a temp folder instead of next to file; fixed usd issues with disallowed characters in shape names and improved smoothing group and subdivision support, added usdz export; fixed fbx bugs with skipping materials, added subdivision level support and improved PBR material handling; improved stl handling of shapes with modifiers and ascii file detection; improved z-up conversion across multiple formats; and much more)
- Improved and streamlined export options for multiple formats, including moving the option to export subd/modifier meshes to the general Export Options
- Added basic math support to numerical fields (including with mixed units)
- All tool windows now remember their last state on app restart
- Improved drag and drop behavior for image files in the Material Editor
- Various bug fixes and workflow improvements (fixed tab focus issues, fixed slide vertex respecting symmetry and updating display properly, fixed crash on Windows when using Blender Bridge and double-clicking to open files, improved material handling when beveling, fixed issue with normal flipping when triangulating, and more)
