Yes the one one the right is a poly smoothed one.
I do all my pulling and shaping using sub-ds.
I add detail in poly mode with split poly.
For my final models i usally keep them Polys because sub-d are a bit more or a memory hog them polys...

do you have an idea for the body?
another question
- when you rig your characters do you use the highly detailed mesh?

I've read about the lower poly mesh 'driving' the subd surface and in Maya Character Animation the chap links them all together and paints the weights on the lower one, but I don't see how the relationships work out- how does it 'know' to move the higher poly one in the same way?
I'm sure it's a stupid question which is why he doesn't explain it, but as I am master of the stupid question I thought I'd ask 8).

the easiest is to bind the skeleton to the low poly, and then convert to subd with proxy object. just never ever change the subd to standard - or the low poly with the skin weights is lostOriginally posted by Witchy
On binding how do you then bind the higher poly / subd version to the skeleton?

There is a way you can bind just the poly proxy mode to have the sub-d surface move with it.. but like i said it is a bit more envolved and sub-d's tent to be harder to move and animate due to the fact the computer has to calculte both sub-d and poly meshes.
