Resolution actually gets in the way sometimes. There is a misconception that higher is better but it is all about the shape. Higher res is just igher res. It does not make figures pose better, actually it makes it worse, past a certain point. I worked very long and hard and contemplated/chose each polygon with extensive tests on whether more res provided better results. Where it did not, polygons were removed. I think the syyd's image shows that a figure can render smooth and realistic without being at an astronomical polygon count. It's really more about the shape than the resolution.
