What does model/x-mesh mean?

In this page, .mesh means the OGRE serialized mesh format, rather than an arbitrary file whose name ends in mesh. OGRE's MeshSerializer imports and exports .mesh data and can optionally include material definitions; a mesh may instead rely on materials loaded separately.1 OGRE's tooling also treats skeletal animation as a related .skeleton resource.2

The associated extension is .mesh. The media type identifies this format family; it does not convert bytes or guarantee support for every feature.

Poly support

Poly can recognize this type as 3D content, index filenames and visual similarity for processed geometry; scene counts are displayed in the Details panel, and provide an interactive preview when the file imports successfully. Poly does not promise to resolve every external object, material, texture, or animation reference in a scene.

An optimized rendition of the 3D object or scene is provided to the agent, allowing compact yet information-rich multimodal interaction with 3D files.

Opening and conversion

Use OGRE or another format-aware tool when preserving editability matters. Conversion to glTF or OBJ can improve interchange for viewing, but may discard application-specific scene data.
