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.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) File Format
The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format is a popular raster image file type that uses lossless compression to maintain high image quality while reducing file size. Supporting full transparency and a broad color range, PNG files are widely used for web graphics, logos, icons, and images requiring crisp, clear details. Unlike GIFs, PNG does not support animation but offers superior image clarity and flexibility.
Key Features of PNG Files
- Efficient Lossless Compression: PNG files compress data without losing quality, using the DEFLATE algorithm for smaller, faster-loading images.
- Transparency and Alpha Channels: Supports 8-bit transparency, allowing for smooth blending and irregular image shapes ideal for web design and mobile apps.
- Superior Image Quality: Excels at preserving sharp edges, solid colors, and fine details, making it ideal for graphics, logos, and text overlays.
- Flexible Color Support: From 256-color palettes to 24-bit RGB with transparency, PNG adapts to a wide range of visual styles and file size requirements.
Convert PNG to 3D Models
With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can import PNG images and convert them into 3D file formats like STL, OBJ, 3DS, FBX, and 3DM. Transform your 2D PNG designs into detailed 3D models for printing, simulation, or visualization. Try our free trial today and bring your PNG artwork to life in 3D!
