You make a good point, ardvarc37, about the model in this pic having good elbow and shoulder folds. However, victoria could do this just as well, the problem isn't with the mesh, it's with poser's somewhat primitive animation system. This guy's model is actually lower poly than victoria. It's a sub-d mesh so it's not a perfect comparison, but let's just say he has less detail worked in. It's a anime model, just by their nature they have less detail. There is next to no muscle defintion, and the face is stylized so you lack subtle features like cheek and eye socket definition. As for the textures, the most impressive surface is the skin and that's the result of a shader and lighting, not a texture. My point is, i've seen a lot of models, and you'll be hard pressed to find one that is as anatomically sound as the poser meshs.
