Let's get into the pricing since this is a factor for everyone as well.
MARI indie & MODO indie 901 + MARI indie Bundle Subscription Users:
-The MARI indie 3.0 update is included with your monthly subscription service. You will need to download and install the new application as it has a different appID and won't stream to you like other product updates do.
MARI indie & MODO indie + MARI indie Bundle Subscription Perpetual License Users:
- We are offering a loyalty discount of 90% off MARI indie 3.0! This is equivalent to an upgrade, but due to the way steam works you will be buying MARI indie 3.0 at a discount. This makes the MARI indie 3.0 update approximately $14.99 USD and $37.99 for MODO indie + MARI indie Bundle users
New perpetual licenses and subscriptions are not discounted at this time.
The team and I here want to thank you all for your feedback and patience awaiting this release.

good to see that the 8bit limit got lifted.
as a perpetual owner of Mari Indie I got a question, how do I use/activate or get the loyality discount to upgrade it for 14.99 USD?
PSD File Layered Import/Export should be well supported in Mari -haven´t tested that yet with Mari Indie
Udim support right now if you need it. Allegorithmic might tackle Udim support in Substance Painter that this year.
the imo more interesting and more tricky question is what Mari Indie can offer what 3DCoat might not give so far.
indies can be teams too, you know.
you'd think they could do a whole lot better than this and still have a meaningful distinction between indie and unlimited feature set.
Flipside, for people who are just building portfolios, Nuke non-commercial is free. Indie versions (and pricing) for Mari and Modo.
Off Topic, there's more update coming for game work for Modo soon. If you can access the hidden subforum in TheFoundry you'll see a preview video.
