The addition of basic modeling deformers like Lattice, Bend, Twist etc would make a lot of things easier in silo. Ideally these would be non destructive and could be added as stacked deformers on top of a mesh.

I would be very happy with a flexible lattice deformer alone as it is easily the most useful.

Per Component influence would be the icing on the cake. :)

Use Python (if possible) to open up Silo for scripting. It will also help the NC developers with community talent.

We have heard from some users that they would be interested in a Linux version of Silo. Please let us know how this stacks up with your other enhancement requests and bugs.

One that works like most 3d applications with a transform history that doesn't reset automaticaly.
1/ With an option to Reset Transforms to zero like an undo which moves the object back to where it started for a selected channel.
Set to zero object moves back to how it was.
2/ Also a Freeze Transforms option which leaves whatever transform values are on an object, ie its new position, but resets all the channels to zero.
Set to zero object stays put.
Which is what we have on auto without a choice or button to push.

The added support for any of the 3dConnexion products would be a great addition to Silo. Support for the SpaceNavigator would be a good start. It would be great to use it along side the other 3d apps that many of us use.

Wee need definetly a 64 bit version.

I want an object heracy with parent/child grouping

It would be great to have smoothing groups or edge support, like found in 3DSMax or Maya. The current crease edges feature is useless when dealing with low poly game meshes.

The Slide function 'J' should work for vertices along edges

A true, rounded bevel, with options for size of bevel, and number of segments to be added.

It would great to have ASE export support. It is a basic and easy to implement fileformat, and it would allow Silo to export its meshes to several popular game engines like the Unreal Engine.

New colour brushes and image processing filters like blur, contrast, saturation. 2D Alpha or stencil capabilities with antialiasing. Full colour map creation through poly painting with export capabilities. With bloating Silo or making it slower ;)

Partial subdivision was a popular feature in Silo 1. It vanished in Silo 2. Let's get it back!

More support for non-destructive techniques such as Max-style modifiers would contribute greatly towards establishing Silo as the first choice for modeling.

I wish it was possible to customize the right mouse button drop down functions list.

It would be great to have support for UV Channels (Or in Maya terms: UV Sets) as it is an often used feature for in game models. A second UV channel allows game artists to create unique lightmap UV coordnates that are different from the UV coordinates used by the diffuse textures for example. It is also great for terrain creation.

High quality TIFF/EXR 32bit displacement maps.

as found in mudbox and zbrush. It will level out areas and also add mass. Great for defining masses, and sketching out details.

I want a GoZ enabled Silo: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=071414

When you do a cut or an extrude or similar, tweaking doesn't work afterwards, it forces you to select and deselect something before it works again. I've learned to live with it, but it's still an annoying issue in my workflow.
