Since that was my first character from Poser I had tried to import, I found the links very interesting.  Also, the comment about that seemed like a lot of polygons led me to do a little testing.  In turns out it was the dynamic hair that was all the polys.

Sydney with Dynamic Hair - 3.5M polys
Sydney Bald - 240K polys
Sydney with complex prop hair - 300K polys

Thanks for the advice.  I will stay away from dynamic hair for the moment especially since my characters were not the focus of the Vue scenes.

Also, the comment of billions of polys has me worried that I don't have something set up correctly because I crash all the time with Out of Memory errors.  I will address that over on the Vue forum.
