In Russia, the cost of an annual indie license for tools for creating 3D graphics is ₽12 thousand, according to the company’s website.

At the same time, neither 3ds Max Indie nor Maya Indie are reduced in functionality, and their subscribers get full access to Autodesk packages.

But there will be no free trial period. If desired, independent developers will be able to use it under the standard 3ds Max and Maya licenses, and only then buy indie versions of the tools. It is also impossible to issue an indie subscription for just a month: the contract is concluded for a period of at least a year.

In addition, to purchase a subscription, you need to meet four requirements:

• earn no more than $50 thousand a year;
• use 3ds Max Indie and Maya Indie for a project whose budget is less than $100 thousand;
• no more than one indie license can be assigned to a user or company;
• reside in the participating country of the program.

List of countries where Autodesk indie program is supported: Russia, Canada, USA, Mexico, Brazil, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK, Australia, India, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and China.
