The 3D Standard
This web site provides definitive information about the C3D file format for programmers, manufacturers and end-users. The C3D format is a public domain file format that has been used in Biomechanics, Animation and Gait Analysis laboratories to record synchronized 3D and analog data since the mid 1980's. It is supported by all major 3D Motion Capture System manufacturers, and companies in the Biomechanics, Motion Capture and Animation Industries. C3D files are a standard that contain all the information needed to read, display, and analyze 3D motion data with additional analog data from force plates, electromyography, accelerometers, and other sensors.
Unlike various other 3D formats (Biovision BVH files, OpenSim .TRC and .MOT files etc.,) the .C3D format is a standard that does not change each time a manufacturer releases a new product so data stored in the C3D format will remain readable for a long time. Sample files are available on this web site that were created in the mid 1990's and can be opened and processed by any C3D application.

It was real fun being in on the AutoCAD for Mac project from Alpha through beta and seeing what it has, and continues to evolve to. Remembering that A4M is a TOTAL rewrite. The same would be partially true for a Civil 3D for Mac project. I run Civil 3D 2012 on my 2.4 GHz 6GB RAM Macbook Pro and it hums along nicely.

- C3D Toolkit is a geometric modeling kit originally developed by ASCON Group, now by C3D Labs, using C and written in Visual Studio. C3D Toolkit responsible for constructing and editing geometric models. It can be licensed by other companies for use in their 3D computer graphics software products.
- C3D.NET is a free class library written in C# for manipulating C3D file. This project supports.NET 2.0 and.NET 4.0, and provides a free Data Viewer based on this library. The C3D format is a public domain, binary file format that has been used in Biomechanics, Animation and Gait Analysis laboratories to record synchronized 3D and analog data.
