poser created high poly models, to reduce them would make them look crappy, it\'s best to make low poly from the ground up, then make a high poly from that instead of vice versa.
Arcane: poser can make nicer stuff, IF it\'s used with other apps, that hand is a great example (/me hearts cgtalk, just joined, but have stalked for ages. :mrgreen: ) but by itself, poser is, erm, a poser?
Odessa: I read your post, but mine still stands, and you have to do what the pro\'s do to get nice results with lower render times,
cheat! 
like render that hair in a full render with shadows, then place it as a texture on a plane, render times is much improved, hair still looks as great (if done properly). And if you want to be able to psoe things easily, learn to rig, it\'s a great 3d skill, and will make it easy to get great poses.
