CSM is a file extension for Character Studio Marker Format files. The CSM format stores position markers for 3D characters. It was created by Autodesk for the Character Studio biped animation tool in 3ds Max. CSM files save biped position data. Limb rotation data is stored in related BVH files.
To open CSM files, use 3ds Max. 3ds Max can also export CSM files to other formats. If Windows does not associate CSM files with 3ds Max, double click a CSM file. This opens a program selection wizard. Install 3ds Max if needed.
CSM files contain ASCII text data. They describe markers for 3D characters used in animation, simulations, games, and special effects renderings. The markers have information like object positions and rotations. After installing 3ds Max, Windows may automatically associate CSM files with it. If not, manually select 3ds Max as the default program for CSM files.
