CSM 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.

KMZ Google Earth KMZ Placemark File Format

The KMZ file format is a compressed version of KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files, bundling associated resources - such as images, textures, 3D models, and overlays - into a single, efficient archive. Designed for sharing complex geospatial projects, KMZ files are natively supported by Google Earth and Google Earth Pro, making them ideal for professional geographic data visualization and distribution.

Key Features and Benefits of KMZ Files

Efficient ZIP Compression: KMZ files use standard ZIP compression to dramatically reduce file size, optimize storage space, and enable faster uploads and downloads compared to standalone KML files.
Comprehensive Geospatial Data Support: Support for points, line strings, polygons, overlays, and 3D models (Collada DAE) allows KMZ files to deliver rich, interactive geographic content.
Wide Software Compatibility: KMZ files can be seamlessly opened, edited, and shared across popular geospatial applications such as Google Earth, Google Maps, ArcGIS, QGIS, and more, ensuring smooth project collaboration.

KMZ File Conversion Made Simple

With our Automapki Application, you can easily import and export KMZ files within AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD environments. Quickly convert DWG entities - including points, curves, polygons, 3D solids, and raster images - into KMZ format for seamless use in Google Earth. You can also reverse the process, converting KMZ files back into DWG drawings for further editing and enhancement.
