# 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
This manual covers **Transmutr v2**. If you still use Transmutr v1, visit the [previous documentation](https://help.transmutr.com/) or download v1 from [lindale.io](https://lindale.io/transmutr).
