Poly support

Poly recognizes model/x-md5anim and .md5anim, indexes filenames, and can use visual similarity when a skeletal rendition is available. Available scene counts appear in details. An MD5ANIM file contains animation data rather than a finished character; readable data may receive a schematic or skeletal rendition for agent interaction.

Conversion

Export a copy to glTF or GLB for modern scene exchange. Verify geometry, materials, skins, tags, and animation after conversion, and retain the original.
