Ardvarc37, use Victoria it s as good as any :) If you want to reduce the poly count, open her obj in 3ds and reduce it. But actually, reducing it won t help you much, as it s not the poly count that makes the final image beautiful, but the renderer and it s ability to "mesh smooth" it at the rendering. If you want to see it, use the freeware version of metasequoia, open the hand demo that comes with it. it s a really really low poly count figure, but it s smoothed and subdivided when rendered. Shade looks like a really powerfull (and complicated) tool, but it s japanese and not translated :( Anyway, thanks for the answers guys ! Let s hope Poser5 can use some smoothing !! JF
