| Poly support | Partial. Poly recognizes model/x-ask and processes valid ASK scenes when their structure is supported. |
| Indexed by Poly | Yes. Poly indexes filenames and available scene metadata. |
| Preview in Poly | Partial. A scene with supported geometry may receive a Poly preview. |

What does model/x-ask represent?
model/x-ask is the Poly media label associated with .ask text-based 3D scenes used in 3ds Max-related workflows. It is not a browser-native interchange standard, so applications must support the particular ASK dialect.1
How to open it
Use 3ds Max or a compatible Blender importer. Verify scene units, coordinate axes, hierarchy, and material references after loading.
Poly support
Poly recognizes model/x-ask and .ask, indexes the filename and available scene metadata, and may provide a visual preview for supported geometry. The Poly agent receives an optimized rendition for compact, information-rich multimodal interaction.
