Quote - *The high polygon count isn't an issue unless your doing animations. *

Actually, it's a major issue if you want to create really large scenes with lots of figures. It's truly amazing to experience how a 64 bit system and 8 gigs of RAM can expand your horizons--not that large scenes are the goal of every Poser user.

At least large scenes are an option in Vue 6 Infinte 64bit, though you have to import the Poser elements piecemeal.

Most scenes with many characters wouldn't need hi-res so Poser Pro gave us some low res characters for that.  There are no doubt circumstances where the poly count matters and maybe that means Poser characters aren't your answer. 

Edit: Poser Pro isn't for everyone but it's nice to have choices :)
