Hello Ester,
, yes and no my dear.

A basic figure shape can be very low Poly.
Rendered with the Poser Smoothing option the results are quite acceptable.
Over time, I have shown more then enough samples of this.

My statement remains the same ; every Poly you add to a basic shape HAS tot DO something in 3D land. If it is just an average of the Poly's laying around it?
It is pollution.

It is OK to go High Poly.
Oh YES; But then every Poly has to have a specific 3D function.

Otherwise I can just build a LOW Poly mesh in a day or so,  subdevide it ten times, and sell it as a high Poly model/figure.

Poly count management and figure shape have to go hand in hand.

Standard Genesis is Over Poly populated.
But I am sure the Morphpacks are counting on the extra Poly's to do their thing.
With the morphpacks she will probably be just right in the Poly count department.

Genesis , "as is" is exactly the same figure at 10K.
"As is"?  Half the poly's are doing nothing in 3D space.

Morphed, they will have their use.

A remark on Subdevision.
What is the purpose?
What does it bring MORE then Posers current Smoothing option?

Both are averaging what already exists without bringing something NEW.
Drawback?
YES, in a GOOD mesh, you "LOOSE" 3D detail.

The testrenders at Daz show exactly the same result with Subdevision and Smoothing.

Did you try rendering genesis in Poser with in General Preferences Crease angle set at 180?

Or set it on the figure.
Or set it on the goups you want to have it.
The Smoothing function has lots of options in Poser.

I renderd Genesis in PP2012 with crease angle set at 180 and was quite pleased with the result. Even arm and knee bending are more then OK.
And you know I am quite critical when it comes to figures/models.

Have a nice day, and happy Posering.

Genesis in Poser does seems to work just fine.
But now? How will the support market react?
