CSM to SHP Conversion
What are CSM files?
CSM is a file format associated with Character Studio, a 3D animation tool which is part of Autodesk's 3DS Max — one of the most popular software used for creating 3D models, animation and rendering. CSM files contain data related to the position of a 3D biped character, and can be used by professionals in the game developing industry, advertising, film etc.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
