A much-requested feature, especially for hard surface modeling. Creating hard edges with smooth shading lets you define smooth/hard-edged sections of your model without having to increase geometry density. Silo now has a 3D text generator which works with any font on your system. Specify font, size, resolution, depth of extrusion, and tessellation. Materials and textures have been added to our FBX format support. Another much-requested feature. Silo is now compatible with high-resolution displays. This small addition to the materials editor is a great timesaver: change a material's ambient and diffuse colors together at the same time. Textures of any file format are now auto-updated on the model when their file changes, so you can easily see changes as you work without having to reload. PSD documents can now be loaded directly into Silo for textures, viewport backgrounds, etc. This is perfect in tandem with Live Textures.

• Fixed Save Selected Objects to only save selected objects in FBX.
• Fixed Save Selected Objects to only save out relevant materials in all file formats.
• Fixed an issue with Revert to Autosave filenames.
• Fixed scrolling and selection bugs within the Scene Editor.
• Updated Scene Editor to open expanded by default.
• Updated Load Into Scene to select and highlight newly-added objects.

High-res display users rejoice; Silo now supports high DPI for both Windows and MacOS. Silo was previously using default OS scaling, which produced blurry results. This update was surprisingly complex and involved touching many parts of the Silo code, so be sure to let us know of any issues you encounter.

For those keeping track, this is our fourth significant Silo update in the past five months. (We're alive!) ;)

Happy modeling!
