Also, Syflex cloth sim is now available as a Modo plug-in.  Just needs PSOFT rigging to complete my weapon of choice 
The Foundry looking hot and sexy for freelancers.

anyone with experience in substance painter and mari want to weigh in on the differences?

MM

thanks.
i been wanting to learn Mari but the conventional trials are too short. this is a very smart step by Foundry and will definitely increase your user base.

a mod should probably merge this thread with the one over in technical talk.

This one is a tad more official than the other one, but I suppose that doesn't really matter. (OP is Foundry Creative Specialist)

Hi myclay,

The copy on the MARI Non-commercial web page says "..Here are the most important limitations of using the non-commercial version.." - see below. MARI Non-commercial was built from the MARI indie code and has the same restrictions, with the exception of the EULA agreement (non-commercial vs. commercial) and the inability to share your MARI indie files with other indie users. You can find the full list of MARI Non-commercial restrictions on page 33 of the Getting Started Guide here. 

From MARI Non-commercial web page:
MARI Non-commercial has some license restrictions you need to know about. There are also a few feature differences between commercial and non-commercial versions of MARI. Here are the most important limitations of using the non-commercial versions:

Export texture resolution size is limited to 4K and 16-bit color per channel.
Export formats are limited to .psd, .png, .tga, .jpg and .jpeg.
Python scripting is disabled.
There is a limit of six UV texture patches per object, but unlimited channels and layers.
You can work with a maximum of five objects at once.

Happy to answer any other questions you may have,
Rachel

@Greg_Brown
so do the ones which have bought MARI indie 3.0 get allowed to use Python scripting now or other limitations lifted?
right now it seems like Non-commercial is a way better option.
