> CS可與市面上最流通的BVH, CSM及本身的BIP動態截取檔案進行實態顯現(即透過專業機器捕捉存取演員的動作存成檔案格式). 經過CS輸入時的適當設定, 還可進一步修改或轉變動作.
Character Studio can import popular motion file formats such as .BVH, .CSM, and .BIP files. These files are captured by real life actor performances using motion capture technologies. Character Studio can also make adjustments on top of these motion capture animations.

> Motion Flow. CS可將不同的動態檔案, 經過適當設定後, 結合成一個新的動態流程, 可保留其原始個別檔, 亦可指定成一整體的單一檔案, 更可在整合後, 對個片的動態片斷進行修改.
Motion Flow can take multiple motion capture files and smoothly combine them into one single animation, then saved as a brand new file and adjusted.

A sequenced set of motions can be distributed to multiple bipeds using Shared Motion, causing them to perform the same set of animations but at various times.

> CS另一強大的編輯能力- Layer層面控制, 可同時保留其原始動態, 而又進行修改編輯, 更可進入各層面比較前後結果, 當然也可以在滿意後, 壓縮成獨立檔案.
Character Studio's powerful function "Layer" allows us to retain original animation while making new adjustments. We can use it to compare before and after results and compress the final animation into one single file.
