Nevercenter Silo 2026.1: Lightweight 3D Modeling Software

Silo 2026.1 is the latest version of Nevercenter's focused, lightweight 3D polygonal modeling software, designed for fast and intuitive creation of game assets, characters, and 3D-printable objects . This major update delivers a massive performance leap and new features that significantly enhance the modeling workflow .

What's New in 2026.1

Massive Viewport Performance Boost

• 100x Faster Drawing: The headline feature is a dramatic speed increase in viewport rendering, enabling smooth rotation and selection of models with millions of polygons, even on entry-level machines .

• GPU-Accelerated Rendering: This performance leap comes from a re-engineered rendering system that utilizes GPU acceleration, eliminating lag in complex scenes .

Expanded File Format Support

• glTF/glb Support: Silo 2026.1 now fully supports the glTF file format (both binary .glb and ASCII .gltf), streamlining the workflow for exporting models directly to game engines and AR/VR applications .

• Automatic Texture Extraction: When opening a .glb file, Silo automatically extracts any embedded textures to a convenient folder, simplifying asset management .

New Modeling Tools

• De-triangulate Function: This new tool intelligently converts triangular meshes—common in imported glTF files—back into clean, quad-based meshes with a single click, optimizing the model for further editing .

Core Capabilities

Silo is known for providing an efficient, streamlined set of professional modeling tools :

• Complete Polygonal & SubD Toolset: Features context-sensitive tools for rapid modeling, including Tweak, Break, Cut, Bevel, Slide, and Extrude, with "sticky key" functionality for faster workflows .

• Advanced UV Editing: Offers LSCM, planar, and other unwrapping methods, with UVs preserved during modeling operations for a seamless workflow .

• Silo Blender Bridge: A plugin that creates a link between Silo and Blender, allowing selected objects to be edited in Silo and automatically transferred back to Blender upon saving .
