3D modeling application
Silo 2 is an extremely accomplished and complex 3D modeling application that is able to switch between what the developers call "high-polygon models" to "controlling hard-edged surfaces."
For anyone new to 3D modeling, this won't mean much and working out how to use Silo will be a job in itself. Silo can be used for creating anything from 3D characters for video games and movies to exploring 3D architectural ideas. So it's great for those developing games or those that are involved in interior design or construction.
This is no user-friendly product, though. It's designed for developers and designers who really know what they're doing as Silo is used at top design studios and professional 3D modelers. However, it's not as complex as something like 3D Studio Max because it's a much smaller package and it does come with extensive documentation to get you started.
You can create some stunning 3D graphics and models with Silo but if you're new to the genre, don't expect to learn it in a hurry.

Great software for beginners, powerful enough to be used by professionals..
There is no easier software for a beginner to use. I've been working in an environment where I've developed 3d models for almost 20 years. In that time I have used nearly every available 3d program. From the early beginnings of 3d Studio in its DOS period when it was owned by Kinetix, to the latest of 3ds Max, Maya, Houdini, Modo and many others. Nothing I have used in all these years has come even remotely close to the ease with which you can create. As well, nothing can beat the simplicity in how you can modify the interface to suit your modeling style. Short of having rendering tools (unless you use an external program) and a few advanced UVW tools, Silo has what any beginner could hope for to jump into the world of 3D. More
