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.

GIF File Format - Graphics Interchange Format
The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a well-established bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987. Best known for supporting both static images and looping animations, the GIF format remains popular on the web due to its lightweight file sizes, wide browser compatibility, and retro visual charm. Despite being limited to 256 colors, GIF files are still widely used in memes, web graphics, banners, and simple motion sequences.
Core Features of GIF Images
- LZW Compression: Uses the efficient Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) lossless algorithm, ensuring compact file sizes ideal for fast-loading web content.
- Indexed Color Palette: Supports up to 256 indexed colors, which reduces image complexity and promotes consistent performance across devices and browsers.
- Built-in Animation Support: Natively supports multi-frame animations with looping functionality, widely used for social media content, email campaigns, and digital advertising.
