Sigh.
Keep believing that connecting dots a certain way is a highly artistic and individual thing that leaves you plenty of room for your own choices.
I guess there's always room for one more mediocre mesh in the greater Poserverse. As long as it's mug is cute enough and the boobs are big enough, noone will question your precious modelling skills.
Me, OTOH, will go on having no respect for other modellers "artistc choices". That's why I was able to reduce MIKI 1 from 130.000 polygons to 30.000 without any noticeable loss of quality.
Or manually retopologize hair to go from 120.000 polys to 20.000 because the modeller made a "wrong" artistic choice.
You start with a blueprint or a laser scan and then you find the most efficient path between details you want to include. It doesn't matter if it is a tank, a car, a plane, a chair or a hot big boobed chick. It's all just connected dots.
Sorry if that isn't glamorous enough for you. ;-)
As vor V3, once I replaced her bloated mess of a head with the V3RR version, she served me quite well:

As she can go from skinny to fat, from hot chick to bodybuilder, from average to outrageous at half the size of most other meshes while still maintaing all necessary body detail, yeah, I think she's pretty much perfect.
