Character Studio CSM File Format
The CSM file format was developed for Autodesk's Character Studio, an advanced animation toolkit integrated with 3ds Max. CSM files store complete skeletal animation data including bone structures, biped rigs, skin weights, and motion capture sequences. While now considered legacy, CSM files remain important for animators working with classic 3D character rigs and motion workflows from the 1995-2010 era.
Key Features of CSM Files
- Motion Capture Support: Stores raw mocap data, animation keyframes, and movement sequences.
- Facial Animation: Includes support for morph targets and complex facial rigging systems.
- Skeletal Rig Preservation: Maintains biped hierarchies, inverse kinematics, and character bones.
- Legacy Integration: Native to Autodesk 3ds Max and Character Studio pipelines (pre-FBX era).
CSM File Conversion Tools
Convert legacy CSM animation files into modern formats like FBX, GLB, OBJ, STL, DAE, and SKP using Autoconverter and Automesher Application. Our tools utilize the Open Asset Import Library to accurately read Character Studio data and export animated characters with bones, motion, and mesh data intact. Perfect for reviving archived mocap animations or transitioning old 3ds Max rigs to current 3D workflows.
GstarCAD - Convert DWG Drawings
GstarCAD, developed by Gstarsoft, is a powerful and cost-effective CAD software solution, known for its high compatibility with the DWG file format. DWG files are widely used to store 2D and 3D design data in architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing industries.
Key Features of GstarCAD and DWG Files
- Robust CAD Tools: Design precise 2D drawings and detailed 3D models using GstarCAD's comprehensive drafting and modeling features.
- Native DWG Support: Open, edit, and save .dwg files natively to maintain accuracy and ensure seamless collaboration across platforms.
- Customization and Automation: Optimize workflows with support for AutoLISP, VBA, and GRX APIs to automate repetitive tasks and extend functionality.
Convert DWG Files to 3D and GIS Formats
Boost GstarCAD's capabilities with our Automesher Application and Automapki Application. These tools enable the import and export of popular 3D formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, FBX, and STEP, along with GIS formats such as SHP, KML, and GeoJSON.
