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.

SAT File – Standard ACIS Text Format (.sat)
SAT files are ASCII-based 3D modeling files created using the ACIS geometric modeling kernel, developed by Spatial. Widely used in CAD applications, SAT (Standard ACIS Text) files store exact geometry and parametric data for solid modeling. This format enables accurate data exchange between leading CAD software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Revit.
Key Features of SAT Files
- High-Precision Geometry: Encodes accurate B-Rep (Boundary Representation) data using NURBS surfaces and curves.
- CAD Interoperability: Supports seamless cross-platform exchange between AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Rhino, Revit, and other CAD tools.
- Feature-Rich Modeling: Retains advanced design elements like fillets, lofts, extrusions, blends, and Boolean operations.
- Readable Format: Human-readable ASCII text file that simplifies debugging and version control in collaborative workflows.
Convert to and from SAT Files
Using our powerful Autoconverter software, you can easily convert SAT files from popular 3D formats like STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, and more. Whether you are preparing models for precision CAD editing or transforming mesh-based data into solid geometry, our SAT converter ensures reliable, high-quality results across platforms.
