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.

CityJSON (3D City Model) File
The CityJSON file format is a modern, JSON-based (JavaScript Object Notation) standard designed for storing and exchanging 3D city models. It efficiently encodes buildings, roads, bridges, urban furniture, and other city objects, offering strong support for textures, semantics, and detailed metadata. CityJSON is a lightweight alternative to CityGML, optimized for simplicity, web integration, and high-performance applications.
Key Features of CityJSON Files
- JSON Simplicity: CityJSON files are lightweight, human-readable, and easily parsed by common programming languages, avoiding the complexity of XML structures like in CityGML.
- Semantic Data: Preserves rich metadata, including building heights, roof shapes, material classifications, and road types, enhancing 3D GIS and urban analysis.
- LOD (Level of Detail) Support: Manages multiple levels of detail (LOD1 through LOD4) to suit diverse visualization, simulation, and analysis needs.
- Web-Friendly Format: Perfect for 3D web visualization and integration with JavaScript libraries like Cesium and Three.js.
- Open and Extensible: Developed by the 3D Geoinformation Group (Delft University of Technology), CityJSON is an open standard that promotes interoperability and innovation.
- File Extension Note: Both CityJSON and GeoJSON use the .json extension - ensure you verify the file structure before processing to avoid errors.
CityJSON File Conversion Made Easy
With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can seamlessly import, export, and convert CityJSON files into formats like STL, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp), and 3DS. Our tools preserve geometric precision and semantic information, making it easy to integrate 3D city models into your CAD, GIS, and 3D visualization workflows.
