Every word that BlackHearted said !

 

And while I wouldn't mind having (full) SubD functionality in Poser, I really don't understand why so many people insist that it's the only way to model ?

SubD is wasteful because it indiscriminately subdivides everything, even parts of the mesh that actually need no subdivision at all.

Using a natively high res (Or "frozen" SubD) mesh also allows you to create more detailed morphs as in a subdivided mesh you can only morph the low les cage.

All the figures above use the same 3rd gen DAZ hi res mesh, and several of them were morphed in Wings and using Poser magnets.

Never had a problem with the polycount.

 

People seem to (or would like to ?) forget that Poser IS different from professional CGI animation.

So why do they keep on insisting that we have to do things exactly the same way the professionals do ?

BTW, the model in question has fantastic expressions but could be recreated just as easily in Poser using V3, V4 or Genesis provided one has  similar sculpting skills.
