We added tons of new features to Silo & Milo in 2022, and many more are coming in 2023!

2022 brought a truly remarkable number of new features and improvements to both Silo and its companion renderer, Milo. Silo saw the incorporation of Pixar’s OpenSubdiv to power its subdivision, built-in screen recording, a powerful implementation of non-destructive shape modifiers, and tons more. Milo added improved raytracing, VR improvements, playable reference characters, and saw other benefits from its upgrade to Unreal Engine 5. See more details below!

If you already own a Silo & Milo license, you can upgrade your existing license to get the latest version plus a full additional year of updates. If you are new to Silo & Milo, you can buy a new license, which automatically includes a full year of free updates from your date of purchase.

Pixelmash 2021.3 is here!

The latest update adds a brand new section to all particle types for controlling opacity over time.

We can't wait to see what you create with it!
