um it was too much to expect I guess...
sub-d is not smoothing
and a sub-d mesh will look terrible when "smoothed" with poser cause poser smoothing is not sub-d
Daz studio has sub-d to a certain extent

sub-d was invented by pixar to allow a low poly "control" mesh with a much more detailed and subdivided mesh on top avaialble at rendertime. So you animate and work with a low polygon mesh and then render a high poly mesh.

daz studio does this in a very clumsy way. But at least it has sub-d.

this sub-d dragon will look terrible no matter what you do with it in poser.
unless you have access to the high poly smoothed mesh - it will look chunky and low poly - cause thats what sub-d is all about.
