【nevercenter官方05年5月11日讯】多边形建模软件Silo v1.4最新版正式发布
新版本特征：
Silo 1.4包括许多增加建模效率和乐趣的新特征，如：选择显示，吸附工具，改进的拓朴刷，改进的切割等原有的各种工具，速度更快，以及bug修复等。
New Features for 1.4
Silo 1.4 includes a host of new features to increase modeling efficiency as well as the elusive "enjoyment" factor.
Selection Highlighting
Selection highlighting, when enabled, will highlight the component under or closest to your mouse pointer before you click on it. This allows you to see what will be selected before you click while also allowing you to perform many operations without ever clicking, since many operations will work on the highlighted vertex, edge, or face. professional modelers know that small enhancements like this can make a huge difference in your modeling workflow. See how it works in this video.
Snapping Manipulator
Silo's new snapping manipulator, in one simple tool, lets you perform operations that require several separate commands in other applications. Use it to constrain one object to the surface of another, for example when placing several trees over the surface of a hill. Or use it to drag new topology lines created with the topology brush over the surface of the underlying hi-resolution mesh. You can also use it to snap vertices to face centers, or faces to edges, or edges to vertices. Use it to snap align components in only the x, y, or z component. It's versatile! Watch how it works in this video.
Improved Topology Brush
Silo's ground-breaking topology brush has been given drastically improved algorithms that make it much more effective in generating accurate meshes than in Silo 1.3. The topology brush is being used now to create character models from actor face scans in high-profile movies, but its uses are unlimited. See it being used in Silo 1.4 in this video.
Streamlined Tools
Many of the existing tools in Silo have been extended and streamlined for version 1.4. The Split Face Loop command has been generalized into the Split Loop command, which allows you to split face loops, edge rings, and edge loops all with one command. The Merge Vertices command has been expanded to collapse edge and face selections. Bevel now works on vertices as well as edges and faces. You can see the Split Loop command in this video.
Speed Improvements and Bug Fixes
Silo 1.4 again takes large steps forward in work on hi-polygon subdivided meshes, drastically increasing the speed with which you can tweak components. Subdivision speed has also increased, and other algorithms improved to make this the fastest version of Silo yet. Several small bugs from previous version have been resolved as well.
