I've used Silo since 2004. I like the new primitives introduced in 2022.3. Silo 2022 implements Pixar's OpenSubDiv among other things: Version 2022.3 Added new Gear/Wheel primitive. Innovative settings for cog stride, spacing, and sharpness make this primitive useful for much more than just creating gears and wheels. Added…
wow looks great really great improvement so far, the new texture is looking perfect, you might not need fancy pants maps on top of a good defuse like that.

I have had some spare time recently and was able to consider working on a personal project again.
