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.
