Autodesk unveils 3ds Max Indie and Maya Indie which costs only $250/year

The most popular 3d softwares 3ds Max and Maya currently has subscription pricing of $1,545/year. It seems to be not an affortable price for small studio or artist to rent. Gradually, people start switching to Blender as it totally free and becoming more and more powerfully

Thus, Autodesk has to find the solution. They've anounced new version of 3ds Max and Maya called 3ds Max Indie and Maya Indie which costs $250/year subscriptions for the 3D applications available to artists earning under $100,000/year in revenue.

Both the 3ds Max Indie and Maya Indie programs give users access to full versions of the software, not cut-down versions like Maya LT, but are capped at one licence per user or per organisation.
In a post on the Stack Facebook group - which is focusing only on 3ds max stuff, Chip Weatherman, Autodesk’s chief product owner for 3ds Max describes the Indie deals as a “pilot program”.
"It is one license of Max or Maya for a year per person or company. It is the full version software. Not an LT or stripped down version. It will auto renew to full price but you can turn off auto-renew & renew with the indie license if you still qualify & we still offer it. Which brings me to the last point. This is a pilot program to determine how & where we expand it. Much like when the telecom companies offer a new channel in select areas to see how to roll it out, this is similar." - wrote Chip Weatherman

The plans are currently available in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US, for a limited time only. Autodesk is now considering whether to extend the offer or roll it out to other territories. Visit the 3ds Max Indie offer page | Maya Indie offer page
