CSM Character Studio Marker File

The proprietary format for Autodesk's Character Studio, designed to store animated 3D characters with complete bone structures, skin weights, and motion capture data. As the native format for this legacy animation toolkit, CSM files preserve skeletal rigs, biped configurations, and facial animation systems that powered realistic character movement in 3ds Max workflows.

Key Features of CSM

  • Animation Data: Preserves motion capture sequences and keyframe animations.
  • Facial Animation: Supports morph targets and facial expression controls.
  • File Interoperability: Native to 3ds Max workflows (1995-2010 era).
  • Legacy Status: Replaced by FBX/BVH for modern character pipelines.

CSM File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application support CSM file import through open asset libraries, enabling seamless conversion of Character Studio's bone, animation, and mesh data into modern formats like FBX, DAE, STL, SKP, and OBJ. Automate Character Studio conversions to FBX/GLB with our professional CSM converters today!


DWG What is a DWG File? (AutoCAD 2D/3D CAD Drawing Explained)

The DWG file format is a proprietary binary format developed by Autodesk for storing 2D drawings and 3D models in CAD (Computer-Aided Design) workflows. As the native format for AutoCAD, DWG files are widely recognized as the industry standard across architecture, engineering, and construction sectors for their precision, flexibility, and cross-platform compatibility.

Key Features of DWG Files

  • Broad Compatibility: DWG files work seamlessly with popular CAD programs like AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, and IntelliCAD, ensuring easy sharing and collaboration across different software environments.
  • High-Precision Vector Data: DWG files store exact vector-based 2D graphics, 3D models, and rich metadata, making them ideal for detailed blueprints, architectural designs, and complex engineering projects.
  • Efficient Use of Blocks: DWG drawings support reusable "blocks" - predefined components like symbols or templates - that help streamline design workflows, ensure consistency, and reduce file sizes.
