I wanna bet.
You may use whatever model you like? OK?

Make me something, anything, I can not make with the PoserPro male or female, and anim8or to morph the hell out of them :-).

A mesh, is just a wireframe to hang the texture on.

Nothing, more, nothing less.
Anything over 25K in poly's is just pollution anyway. :-)

Where do the poly's go??
5000 poly ears due to the subdevision? (That get govered by the hair anyway??)
4000 poly navels?
1OOOO poly inner mouth??, Mostly closed or open 1/4"??
Posette, Judy, Alyson Lo Res, OK, I can live with those.
For the rest?
Stay Low poly, a good texture, and a good displacement map.
Just my 2 cents...
Remember, most high poly models get killed by their own poly count.
The rigging becomes a nightmare to get correct.
And no, I will not give examples.
