Thanks, everyone.

I am taking my time looking at Silo. So far have come to the same conclusions that I see here. Hexagon is becoming easier and faster for me. I need a modeler that I can work with fast to meet illustration deadlines. Rendering is something that I do in programs like Carrara 4 pro if I need something complex. For 3D print services, the material/color assignments availble in Hex are working well.

Silo has many intriguing features, but it may well be too complex for my needs.

Groboto is different, for sure. Not thinking I can use the type of images I see in their gallery - looks kind of like a 3D fractal thing.

This is definitely an on-going quest.
