I'm not aware of any bridge for Silo. I'm usually in Blender, but for some reason, I find it easier to model clothing in Silo than in Blender. I usually leave Blender for props and environment sets.
Best thing I discovered with Silo was the incremental saves. Of course, I end up with like a bazillion files. But this way I can go back to an earlier version if I screw something up.

Good evening 
@Terre
Not quite so mopey here today, starting to feel better at last and Sam will be home tomorrow
Been playing with Silo off and on, trying to see if I am with it enough to pick up any of the projects the desperately need finishing. Not much luck on the front so far, ended up making a new temple floor for a render I want to do instead lol

Mum and I use to do that, thing is we all do the medieval reenactment/living history thing, (that's how Sam and I met), so wooden spoons etc are only a small step down from the actual weapons

My mother and I did a touristy thing Saturday. We went here: Windmill Museum
What the vids (and the pamphlet we got) don't show is the single largest turbine there. It's the GE prototype for the giant (over 200ft tall) turbines used in a wind farm in California. They couldn't erect the thing because they are close enough to the Lubbock airport that the height limit is 75' so it's in pieces on concrete pads on the ground. I was hoping the site would have a photo of the propeller section as it's gigantic and is one of the first things you see when approaching the museum.
In the opening vid there is a red brick path leading off screen bottom. That leads to where you can view the giant. The quasi Dutch looking thing near the bottom of the home page is a replica of the first windmill erected in the US on the Flowerdew Hundred Plantation in Virginia in 1621. This one was built in 1978 and moved to Lubbock in 2010.

Good morning.
It was fun but also a bit unnerving for my subconscious. I have a very strong fear of falling (many situations which bother people with a fear of heights will also set off my problem, but not all) and apparently that includes things that look like they could fall on me. I didn't have any problem the two times we went to visit this: Roosevelt County Chamber of Commerce (when it was still on private property) but combining those towers with deep pits in the floor was uncomfortable. LOL
My mother was disappointed with the Lubbock collection in a way. The Portales one has several examples of kit-bashing by the end users and she was hoping to see more but the bigger collection doesn't have any. What the Portales collection has includes a butter churn, a sharpening wheel and a circular saw all powered by windmills.

I am home until May 3! Woohoo!
I have to work Thursdays and Fridays (telecommute), but that's a piece of cake.

Yay!
LOL
I think the term comes from the old physical model kits. Some people got quite creative with them. My original thought was to say something like "end user ingenuity" but I figured "kit-bashing" would be understood here.
Niiiice. Way to go!!
