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.

DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) File
The DXF file format (Drawing Exchange Format), developed by Autodesk in 1982, is a universal standard for sharing CAD data across platforms. Designed as a vendor-neutral alternative to DWG, DXF files preserve essential design elements - such as 2D/3D geometry, layers, text annotations, and metadata - ensuring seamless collaboration between AutoCAD and a wide range of CAD, CAM, and GIS applications.
Key Features of DXF Files
- Open Standard: Originally created to allow open access to CAD data, the DXF format is available in both ASCII and binary versions for easy interoperability and editing.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: DXF is widely supported by major CAD programs like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, BricsCAD, and more, facilitating efficient project sharing and workflow integration.
- Text-Based Format: The ASCII DXF format uses a readable text syntax, making it simple to view, edit, and debug using standard text editors.
- DWG Exchange: DXF acts as a critical bridge for exchanging DWG drawing data without requiring proprietary software, ensuring broader accessibility and collaboration across different design platforms.
