WinterClaw,

If I am not mistaken Rand stated that DAZ believes that exporting a high res (subdivided) version of Genesis for Poser use would result in poor bending because they state that the lower polygon count contributes to better weight map performance.  Hopefully I'm getting the context of the statement right.

I very much disagree with this.  I have done several re-rigging tests in Poser Pro 2012 and have not found that the polygon count of figures that Poser users are accustomed to doesn't at all affect weight map rigging performance.  It is still a smooth and beneficial approach.  Though this is the POV a Poser-only design.

I agree that I find it to be sideways thinking to develop for a neuter figure, especially when that involves a "realistic" human form.  Sure I've done it with toons but I don't believe the same level of structural detail is expected or required.
