CSM 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.

DXF Drawing Exchange File

A universal, open file standard developed by Autodesk to enable seamless cross-platform exchange of CAD data between AutoCAD and other design applications. As a vendor-neutral format, DXF preserves 2D/3D geometry, layers, text, and basic metadata, making it ideal for collaboration across different CAD, CAM, and GIS software.

DXF Key Features

  • Origin:

    Developed by Autodesk in 1982 as the ASCII/Binary CAD data interchange format.

  • Compatibility:

    Universal standard for 2D/3D CAD programs (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc.).

  • ASCII Format:

    The DXF format is text-based and uses a standard syntax to store DWG drawing data. It can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.

  • Exchange of DWG Drawing:

    The DXF format acts as a universal bridge for DWG data exchange between AutoCAD and third-party applications. This solution is especially valuable since Autodesk's proprietary DWG format requires licensed software for full access and editing capabilities.

DXF File Converters

Autoconverter and Automesher Application allow you to import and export DXF files, and convert them into various other file formats. You can use our products to convert 3D meshes into a set of DXF faces organized in colored layers. This allows you to further process and modify your models using your default DWG editor.
