Quote - Wayne I was worried about that for sure. So, I loaded many V4s into Max (just the mesh) see image attached.

I then loaded in the fully rigged figure I purchased. Viewport response was smooth. No hesitation grabbing the direct manipulation widgets and rotating/translating. Now, I can't say that this littel test is the equivelent to two V4s with BiPed, texture maps, hair and cloth. Finding that out will be part of this proof of concept.

A truer 'test' of what you;ll be up against is to transfer a fully rigged and morphed collada exported V4 into max.  The load on max and the computer and workflow will be very similar. Closer to comparing apples and apples.

For example, if you use fae morphs, and body morphs, you could easily end up with something similar to 100 copies of V4 in there - all in one scene object.   if that's the workflow that you go with - which is what most poser users tend to want to do - recreate their workflow in Max as much as they can.

What may be worth checking out ios if D|S will collada export lower poly version of V4.
