Quote - Hope this isn't OT.  What about for morphsdon't you need the extra poly's?

Not necessarily, no. It is more a question of how the polys are laid out than how many of them you have (e,g, more polys at the joints than at the flatter areas of the body, laying out polys in a way that can intelligently move with the morph as it increases, etc). The MakeHuman project has a very nice, long discussion stashed somewhere on their site concerning this.
