Maya Indie worldwide

Maya Indie worldwide

Hello Autodesk team,

 

I would like to greatly encourage you to make Maya indie worldwide. For a fair price (I noticed it's 560 pounds in UK compared to 360 USD in the US) 

This would make Maya accessible to casual users and freelancers as well as smaller studios. 

With blender animation update coming and it's general popularity the future is not looking so good.

I would love to keep using your software and I hope you can make it possible for freelancers worldwide.

 

Who is with me? 🙂

I support your opinion.
In Korea, many users are waiting for the Maya Indie-version.
We look forward to seeing smaller workers like me less burdened with licensing.
I hope Google Translator can get my message across.

Where did you see $360, by the way?  Had me worried that the price was raised when I glanced at this, but it's still $250.

Seems like I made a mistake, I believe one youtuber said he paid that but I am not so sure anymore. 250 USD per year is an awesome price

I've been using maya LT for a long time and I love it, but my indie game now requires modular characters. This is very unpractical to create in maya without File Referencing or Geometry Constrains or Atom animations etc (all are not available in Maya LT). I'm hoping Maya indie gets released in Europe and other countries soon! 😄

The next student generation leaves school in a few weeks and their licenses expire therefore - thanks to stupid new rules.

Is Autodesk really trying to loose a complete year of graduates? They need still years to build portfolios and experiences, they are far from jumping in the market and earning money.

So is that the answer to the demand, to make Maya affordable to freelancers?

I'm Maya tutor and would like to know, what to tell my students, what the plan and timing is...

Hello Autodesk team,

 

I fully agree with the statements made above and hope you will make the Maya Indie version available in all regions. Maya is an awesome piece of software but unfortunately out of reach for many, thus drawing them to free alternatives like Blender with its ever-expanding feature list.

 

I really hope you will do your best to make Maya available to indies for a fair price!

Cierto, para los países del tercer mundo como el mio, se hace muy difícil. además no trabajo para ningún estudio. es solamente hobby y me lo tengo que pagar de mi bolsillo.

I am happy to confirm that our pilot program worked and we've quietly emailed our pilot program to let them know the good news.  We will be going global, offering Maya Indie wherever we have an eStore across the world starting on August 7th in just a few weeks.

 

Thanks for hanging in there and all the votes, we've been fighting the good fight to get everything ready for you.

 

Enjoy!

Hi there,

We made it available to everywhere we have an eStore globally. Hopefully we can add more eStores in the future.

@tj.galda  Thank you for your answer. I hope it will be soon. I just dont understand, as I can subscribe to the full licence but not the indie one. And I was/am really disappointed I could not jump on it today as I wanted. I love this software.

 

Please keep us informed when things will be moving in that direction.
