CSM to GLTF Conversion
You can easily transform CSM into GLTF by following our simple guide:
Install Autoconverter
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert CSM files to GLTF format.
Import CSM File
Click Open... to load your CSM (.csm) file, or drag and drop it into the application window.
Export to GLTF Format
Use Save As... to export your file to the GLTF file format (.gltf, .glb).

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.

GLTF and GLB 3D File Format
The GLTF (GL Transmission Format) and GLB file types are modern open standards developed by the Khronos Group for efficient storage, transmission, and rendering of 3D models. Designed for the web, gaming, VR/AR, and real-time applications, these formats enable compact, high-performance 3D asset workflows across platforms.
Key Features of GLTF and GLB Files
- GLTF Versions:
- GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, textures, simple materials, and skeletal animations with joint hierarchies.
- GLTF 2.0: Adds advanced features like PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, morph targets, skinning, and enhanced animation capabilities.
- ASCII vs Binary: GLTF files are human-readable (JSON format), while GLB files combine 3D data, textures, and materials into a compact, binary format for faster loading and easier distribution.
- Embedded Textures: Both GLTF and GLB can embed textures directly, creating self-contained 3D assets ideal for web and mobile applications.
Convert GLTF and GLB Files
With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily import, export, and convert GLTF and GLB files to formats like OBJ, FBX, STL, and more. Our software supports Draco compression, enabling significantly smaller file sizes while preserving the quality and performance of your 3D assets.
