I just want to be able to use all the various new tools Blender has to offer besides the modeling tools.
Did I mention anything FREE draws me in like a fly to cow dung...

Re: Blender 2.5 Getting Started
Hm, i`m no Silo user. But they just finished their first game. And released the Silo 2.2 patch in October. So it`s not all dead. Not sure what they are doing at the moment though
