# What's new in v2

## Highlights

### Improved simplification

The new magic wand button will automatically find the right simplification level for your model, making it as lightweight as possible while retaining it's shape.

Alternatively, you can simplify individual objects to fine-tune the optimization.

The simplification is now much faster and updates in real-time as you move the slider.

Here is a comparison between Transmutr v1 and v2.

### New preview modes

You can now preview the PBR materials in the new ***Render*** mode with 10 different environments and lighting conditions, or inspect the geometry with the Monochrome mode.

### Convert materials without geometry

You can now drop a collection of textures into Transmutr, and it will create a material by automagically assigning the right texture to each slot, ready to be rendered in SketchUp, V-Ray, and Enscape.

### New Blob proxy type

A ***Blob*** is a simple 3D volume (convex hull) that wraps the object, instead of a single box or a flat billboard.

You can assign different blobs to different parts of the model to fine-tune the overall shape of the proxy.
