Finally - a robust, artist-friendly, open-source 3D batch converter.#

Transmogrifier is a Blender addon for batch converting 3D files and associated textures into other formats.

  • ⏳ Saves Time. Automates the boring stuff so you can focus on creating instead of converting.
  • 🛡️ Private and Secure. Runs offline/locally. No account needed.
  • ⚓ Non-Destructive. Preserves original files. Edits textures on-the-fly.

How it Works#

Transmogrifier uses a simple algorithm with powerful features.

  1. 🔍 Transmogrifier searches through an entire folder hierarchy for 3D files of the desired format(s).
  2. For every discovered 3D file of the desired format(s), Transmogrifier then
    1. 🧹 refreshes the scene
    2. 📥 imports the file
    3. 🏁 applies textures to the model
    4. 📚 adds the model to the given asset library
    5. 📤 exports the model in the new format
    6. ⏬ auto-optimizes the export file's size
  3. 📋 Reports a summary of the batch conversion in a CSV file.

Tip

Many additional conversion utilities are also available within this general workflow. Check out all the Features!

The diagram below demonstrates the variety of ways in which Transmogrifier can convert models with respect to available textures and the chosen import and export formats.
