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.

FBX (Filmbox) 3D Model File Format
The FBX file format is a proprietary, industry-standard format for 3D models, assets, and animations. Originally developed by Kaydara and later acquired by Autodesk, FBX has become a universal 3D interchange format. It enables seamless transfer of 3D data - including complex hierarchies, materials, textures, and animations - between modeling, animation, and rendering software, ensuring consistent and efficient 3D workflows.
Key Features of FBX Files
- Embedded Textures: FBX files store texture images directly within the 3D file, eliminating the need for external assets and ensuring consistent model appearance across different platforms and applications.
- Reusable Geometry Components: FBX supports modular storage of geometry components, enhancing model consistency, reusability, and efficiency.
- Hierarchical Assembly Structures: The format captures complex assembly structures and object hierarchies, enabling detailed and organized 3D scenes.
- Animation Support: FBX files can embed animation data - including skeletons, keyframes, and motion capture - making them ideal for game development, film production, and AR/VR applications (though animation support may vary between software).
