  To Start : I have been modeling for a very long time, 15 years. Used most of the software out there, Maya and Max especially for Subdivision modeling with objects of 2000 pieces with a total of 50 to 70 million polygons in a scene. Yes, I spent a lot on my Workstations. Now that this is out of the way, this program for such a small price is incredibly powerful, versatile, you can see that it can grow and grow. It reminds me very much of XSI , and when I say you can customize it....I mean you can do anything and the tool advancement , the capability that makes it very future proof is incredible. PLEASE support this software! I believe it is done by a single person? It does need a teem of people that can develop more and more for it . I have given Blender many chances even up until 3.0 For modeling but it is NOT a professional modeling package even with its paid add-ons. If you are a real modeler such as Vitaly or on that level you will see how bad Blender is in anything to do with modeling but the rendering is increadible. Nvil is a hope we all need at a time when as a freelancer it is horrible to pay Audodesk 3000 to 4000 euro just to rent for 1 year their program that crashes often and never is updates as it should be. Nvil as said can be the new XSI, something we all have waited for! To Freelancers/Professionals such software is vital, we do not have much money at times and we need a solid software like this, after paying taxes most of my very talented friends can barely pay taxes or rent and yet this is such cheap software but smells of Class A. I have not been this passionate about a software for a long time. It has to grow. If the Nvil maker is reading this please keep going and reach out to the other top modelers in the industry. Make a team of talented Programmers . But please make tutorials and a online PDF for people to know how to use the software and augment it as there is nothing now. This is bad from a business sense as users do not know how to use it they will not buy , not use. Long rant but, I literally went threw every menu and setting ....it is very robust for what it is . Buy it ! Even if you use it for fun, SUPPORT THIS SOFTWARE!

  A very powerful 3d modeling application with a ton of custom controls. The Developer seem pretty responsive as well.

  Nvil is a polygonal modeler that focuses on speed. Nvil has a stacked hotkey functionality that is context sensitive. I've used this for years before buying a copy on steam. As a pure modeling tool Nvil crushes blender with speed and efficiency. Take for example extruding a polygon in nvil. You select a polygon, press and hold A while adjusting the extrusion length. While still pressing A, you can then toggle the number of extrusions with a mouse wheel. Press spacebar to toggle through the various types of extrusions, whether the extrusion should be along the normals etc. This applies to all other tools. There are various methods for cycling through polygonal selections and isolating polygonal meshes. Slicing polygonal rows along an orthographic line based on a specific camera angle is just slick. Everything is at your fingertips already, you just have to know the hotkey. Nvil is at its more powerful when the user hides the interface and relies primarily on the hotkeys. Nvil is all about speed, functionality and no flash or hype. Nvil is a giant of a modeling tool when compared to tools like blender that need pay for plugins and user revision to fix the flaws and shortcomings of the app. I use Nvil in combination with 3dcoat, MagicaCSG, plasticity, unreal, unity and Maya. Nvil is targeted at users that already know how to model and scuplt but don't want to pay for an autodesk subscription but at the same time they don't want to deal with blender's slow archaic workflow. This is where Nvil shines the brightest.

  In a world where Blender exists, Nvil is a peculiar beast. On the one hand Nvil fills a void left by Nevercenter Silo, which has existed as zombieware for the better part of the past decade. I feel that there's still SOME need for a small footprint, customizable SDS modeler in this crowded market. Nvil is exactly that. On the other hand, one has to wonder if Blender's very existence makes Nvil more of an artifact of a bygone era of 3D. Nvil is the sort of app that would have been the top dog for indie art some 10-15 years ago. It's not 2002 anymore though. Why spend $119 for a SDS modeler when you can get a far more complete and robust suite in the form of Blender for $0 instead? That's the real question. If you're looking for a Silo replacement and are willing to pay Silo prices then Nvil is your guy. If, however, you want to go beyond poly modeling then opt for the Blender instead. Blender is every bit the pro-level app as something like Maya or 3dsmax. Nvil is more of a niche product, designed to fill an ever shrinking hole in the market. And that's the problem. Nvil isn't a complete app unto itself. You can't animate, render, sculpt, or do any of the other big picture things that you might expect of a modern 3D app. Don't spend $119 on Nvil expecting it to replace the $300 MODO Indie. You'll be disappointed. Nvil exists for one reason and one reason only, as a replacement for Silo. That said, here are a few basic pros and cons. PRO: - Customizable - More stable than Silo v2.x ever was - Easy to learn - Small footprint - Pure poly modeling CON: - Overpriced at $119. - Customizable GUI suffers from slightly laggy button/element redraw - The odd clipped button text in the latest April 14, 2017 build - Default radial menu is a little twitchy and too quick to move from one level to the next - Dated overall design. Very 2001. RECOMMENDATION: It won't replace, Blender or any other general purpose suite app. Then again, it's not supposed to. If all you need is a pure poly/SDS modeling solution then you could do worse tha Nvil. Nvil is what Silo v2 probably should have been. If, however, you already have a more robust app available to you then Nvil doesn't bring anything new to the table. Nvil is good for what it is. Just wait for a sale. NOTE: I tested this on Win10 (ver. 1703) with a Core i7-6700K @ 4GHz, 32GB RAM, and a GeForce GTX 970 4GB.

  I am not one for writing reviews but feel the need to do so for Nvil. I am a professional ArchVIZ artist/designer moving into the world of game engines. I am only a few hours in with Nvil and it has become my goto subd modeller. It just does what it says on the tin and very quickly and intuitively. I have had to figure everything out myself as there is little guidance or tutorials - that has not slowed me down at all. Modelling is enjoyable fast and fun, FBX files play nice with Substance and Unreal Engine and demo versions of Modo and Houdini. I will be adding Houdini Indie to the toolset shortly on the basis that my main modelling will be an Nvil-Houdini combo. I tend to favour separate specialist tools over huge beasts that do everything but that's not to say that there is anything wrong with using the Blenders, Mayas and Maxs of this world. (Am I allowed to put s after x?) In my shed I have a selection of screwdrivers, hammers, saws and a treasure trove of odd shaped chisels because it feels great to craft something with the right tool for the job. For me this was a no brainer at this price. Pros - Intuitive, fast and enjoyable Cons - I need a new mouse with extra buttons to get even faster :)

  I just recently bought nVil because it was time to look for something to replace my favorite (although aging sub-D modeler, Silo 2). If you loved Silo 2, you will quickly find yourself at home in nVil. It's an amazing subdivision modeler with a slew of features and options that make modeling complex or organic shapes a breeze. nVil holds the truth, that a dedicate tool for a task will do that task better than any multi-tool ever could. Update: Since my original review, I have used this program for additional 2609 hours. And as of today, my review still stands. Nvil is, by far, still my favorite 3D modelling tool. And, it really just keeps getting better and better with updates. If you like subdivision-style modelling, I don't think it has any competition out there... at least, I've never found it.

  I'm a 3dsmax user, and I think nvil is really something that you need. You can even use the script to quickly pick something up in 3dsmax that you created in nvil without export obj and import. Really handy!

  Great, customizable modeling software. I'm more proficient with Blender so I don't think will take over as my modeling software anytime soon. I'll continue to support and keep an eye on it though. Definitely like it, just hard to justify using it at this point in time.

  Great software! A lot of features for a low price. Very intuitive and beginner friendly. Totally recommend it for those, who are interested in learning 3D modeling.

  A very strong subdivision modeler that is somewhat future-proofed thanks to it's vast customization options for the UI. Plays well with 3d coat so it was a snap to work into my pipeline. I've used Silo for years and still love it but this replaces it for when I need some quick and precise tweaks to game models or hard surface modeling without needing to dust off the ol' parametric modelers. If you understand half of this review you may as well grab Nvil. If you are trying to learn the old by still completely relevant art of poly modeling(ya, edge-flow still matters!) you may want to hold off. The tutorial/learning material is extremely sparse.
