LMK - In my favorite non-Poser app of choice, the low poly character is textured and subdivided. The subD character inherits the texture from the low poly. The low poly cage is carries the morphs and is animated (in real time) ; the subD character again inherits all topographical, translation / rotation changes - the subD character can be toggled on or off but mainly is only visible to the rendering engine. Overall this workflow speeds development time and ease on system resources. The rendered mesh is super smooth.
