Sigh. Why is it so hard to understand that....
#1: Poser is not a PRO application. It's made for and used by hobbyists.
#2: PRO meshes are purpose built. Often a single movie character has several meshes depending on the scene it is used in.
A Poser/STUDIO mesh OTOH needs to be sturdy and safe enough to be handled and modified by both amateur users as well as amateur merchants who often have zero technical knowledge. There is no "high tech", "movie trickery" or "postwork" to improve the final result.
It is expected to cover a huge variety of reasonable realistic human (and sometimes alien) body styles, ages and genders on most often below average computers.
So sorry, but you're constantly comparing apples and oranges.
A Poser mesh of course would be completely unsuitable in a "Pro" pipeline, the same way any "Pro" mesh will be completely useless in the hands of your average Poser/Studio user.
That "You can be just like the Pros for only $499.99" pipe dream is what got us into this mess in the first place.
