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.
  • 🌐 AR-Ready. Designed with e-commerce visualization for the Web and AR in mind.
  • 🔓 Open Source/Licensed-Free. View, modify, and share the code freely.
  • 🆓 Free. No paywall, no trial, no strings attached.

Transmogrifier supports batch conversions between many import and export formats.

FBX | OBJ | glTF/GLB | STL | PLY | X3D | DAE | ABC | USD/USDA/USDC/USDZ

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.

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.

What is Free Software?

“Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.” - GNU.org
