CSM File
CSM (Character Studio Marker) file is a native file format to Character Studio software developed by Autodesk company for the 3D animation content with the internal bones structure. Autoconverter and Automesher Application, our CSM file converters can load and import CSM mesh data thanks to the open asset import library. With our specialised software the imported character CSM data can be easily converted and saved into your primary 3D file format and processed by your favorite 3D modeling software.
PLY File
PLY (Polygon File Format or Stanford Triangle Format) is a file format developed to store three dimensional triangles with additional properties e.g. color, normals, transparency or texture coordinates. However, Autoconverter our PLY file converter can only read and write mesh geometry without the material properties, as in the PLY file they can vary between triangle vertices. You can save PLY files in a binary or ASCII text file format, with the preference for the binary version due to a significant PLY file size saving.
