Convert CSM to OBJ

The CSM (Character Studio Marker) file extension is associated with Autodesk's Character Studio, a component of the 3ds Max software. This file format is used to store 3D character position markers, which are essential for animating biped characters in motion capture data. Introduced in the late 1990s, CSM files are ASCII text files that contain raw marker position data generated by motion-capture devices. These files facilitate the accurate alignment and calibration of character models, ensuring realistic animation sequences. Character Studio Marker files have been instrumental in advancing 3D animation and motion capture technology, providing a standardized format for storing and manipulating character motion data.

The OBJ (Object) file extension, related to Wavefront 3D Object, is a standard 3D image format developed by Wavefront Technologies. It is widely used for representing 3D geometry, including the position of vertices, texture coordinates, and normals. OBJ files are versatile and commonly employed in various CAD, 3D printing, and computer graphics applications due to their simplicity and compatibility with numerous 3D modeling programs. Introduced in the 1980s, the OBJ format has become a cornerstone in the industry, facilitating easy exchange and rendering of 3D models across different platforms.
