Thanks for the info. Regarding method 1, I'm wondering if you had a figure with a "blown" elbow or knee due to the pose, woud the hi-res version cure that. This is basically a more severe instance of the jaggies you illustrate in your images. For method 2, the cr2 exchange type of idea sounds great. I'm assuming that you'll be providing instructions on doing the necessary conversion. Ideally, if it's a rote process, perhaps it could be automated - but that's probably too much to hope for :-) One idea that occurs to me is that it would be nice if there was an option to increase the resolution of selected groups and vary the resolution between groups. I don't know how practical that is but being able to increase the resolution of say just the chest might be all someone needed in a particular instance and would avoid the overhead of upping the entire figure. One other issue is morphs. I've used an increased resolution figure before, Mobius hi-res woman. To use existing morphs it was necessary to use the same conversion, pnurbs in Max in that case, on morphs. I imagine the same would be true here. You'd have to export the morphs as obj's and hi-res them as well for method 2.
