I really like the fact that the modeller tried to use only as much polys as absolutely necessary. As Gareee mentioned above, this model is based on a subdivided mesh. What that means is 3D Studio Max adds form and softness beyond the 22,649 polygons so that it actually LOOKS like it has more polygons. In order to get a subdivided mesh to work in Poser, you have to "freeze" it. If you freeze the 22,649 polygons, you remove the subdivision capabilities and the soft roundness of the model. Though Poser will round out the edges somewhat, you are also talking a model that has roughly the same number of polygons as Posette. If you "freeze" the polygons so that you increase the resolution to maintain the softness, you'll end up with as many or more polygons than Victoria 3 has. That being said, the model you are talking about has a very nice face, but her body seems too slight. She looks very much like a teenager vs. Victoria's adult figure.
