CSM to STEP
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to CSM and STEP interoperability and exchange that could help you with the CSM to STEP conversion.
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.
STEP File
STEP (STandardized Exchange of Product) is a very popular file format for the data 3D exchange between different computer systems e.g. CAD, CAM or CAE. As the STEP geometry data are stored in a text form you can expect bigger file sizes when exporting triangular meshes with thousands of faces using the Autoconverter software. However, if your geometry defines manifold solid it will try to create optimized faceted STEP brep representation which should reduce STEP file size by one-third. The STEP file format supports colors per assembly, but without the alpha component, therefore any transparency setting will be lost in the final STEP file.
