Developer mind.sight.studios has released a long-awaited upgrade for Skimp. Several changes have been made in Skimp 2.0 that enhance the user experience:
- New import types! GLB / glTF, USD (.usda, .usdc, .usdz), and SKP.
- Preview now shows textures and shading.
- When importing, you will see a progress bar.
- Greatly improved user experience.
- Isolated edges not attached to faces are now maintained when importing or simplifying SKP files.
- Missing faces due to SketchUp tiny-face issue is now much less likely to occur (especially if using meters as import units).
- Ability to import as flat-shaded (eliminates smoothing artifacts).
- Simplification error tolerance now works better when simplifying scaled objects.
- Transparent materials are now imported correctly.
- And many bug fixes.

Skimp 2.0 is a free upgrade for all existing users, both subscription and perpetual. The latest version can be downloaded from the official Skimp download page.

About Skimp
Let’s be honest… SketchUp isn’t built to handle millions of polygons. With Skimp, you don’t need a supercomputer just to use a high-quality sofa or bed model from the 3D Warehouse. Use it to reduce the number of faces in your model while maintaining visual quality.
