I don't know if you did this but this is a trick I used to use then I did use poser before. Before you export the figure select each of the parts of the body that will not be seen. Then mark them as invisible then the mesh for those parts will not be exported. If you do this it will save thousands of polygons. Why import the polygons for hte girl in the dress's hips when they won't be seen. Use less lights I liek dramatic shadows and tend to use less lights than most. You can probably get a good pic with 1 light and a sky dome.
