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.

X3D Extensible 3D File

An open-source, royalty-free standard developed by the Web3D Consortium. X3D uses XML encoding to represent 3D scenes and models. This versatile format excels in web-based 3D graphics, offering real-time rendering capabilities, animation support, and seamless integration with HTML5. Its extensible design makes it ideal for VR/AR applications, engineering visualizations, and interactive simulations.

Key Features of X3D/X3DB

  • Legacy:

    Direct successor to VRML with backward compatibility.
  • Web Integration:

    Designed for HTML5 (X3DOM, Three.js compatibility).
  • Scene Graph:

    Hierarchical organization of nodes (transformations, groups, etc.).
  • File Structure:

    XML-based encoding with human-readable/textual representation.

X3D/X3DB File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application offer full support for X3D file conversion, ensuring smooth interoperability between X3D and major 3D formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, 3DS, and STEP. Using our effective X3D converters you can easily transfer mesh models to and from this web-friendly 3D standard while preserving geometry, materials, and scene hierarchy.
