"Silo is the only modeling software I've used since 2005 when I got version 1.4. It is used in the game for far more than just the 3D models; it helped me model, complete, publish and sell a mobile game... how cool is that?"

Check out Moto RKD Dash, a timeless arcade racing action game, entirely modeled in Silo and brought to life with Unity. Read about the creation process here on the CGTalk Silo Forums. ★★★★★ from us!
