■ CSM file (.csm)
The Character Studio Marker format. This is an alternative format for
recording motion capture data. It stores positional data for various markers
on a biped figure.
See
Motion Capture Rollout on page 4584.
NOTE For the CSM file specification, see the CSM.rtf document on the program
disc.
■ MIX file (.mix)
A MIX file contains data from the Motion Mixer, such as trackgroups,
tracks, and transitions.
See
Using the Motion Mixer on page 3699.
■ MFE file (.mfe)
The Motion Flow Editor format saves scripts you create in the Motion Flow
Editor, including clip references and transitions.
See
Motion Flow Mode on page 4545.
■ MNM file (.mnm)
The Marker Name File format matches custom marker names in a CSM or
BVH file with the standard, preset marker names used by a biped.
NOTE For BVH and CSM file specifications, see the BVH.rtf and CSM.rtf
documents on the program disc.
■ STP file (.stp)
The Step file format saves footstep data. Unlike a BIP file, it does not save
keys for the feet or upper body. STP files are ASCII files. The main purpose
for this format is to enable developers to write programs that generate step
files. Biped can later be used to create keys for the software-generated
footsteps.
See
Loading and Saving STP Files on page 4308.
Motion File History Lists
The file dialogs for Biped motion files include a history list that lets you quickly
choose directories where you have recently saved or opened files. 3ds Max
maintains a separate history list for each type of motion file.
