# Welcome to Transmutr

Transmutr converts 3D assets and materials into optimized SketchUp files. Preview models in a dedicated desktop app, tune geometry and PBR materials, then export `.skp` files (optionally as lightweight proxies for V-Ray and Enscape) and send them straight into an open SketchUp model.

This manual covers **Transmutr v2**. If you still use Transmutr v1, visit the [previous documentation](https://help.transmutr.com/v1) or download v1 from [the website](https://lindale.io/transmutr?download).
