Noooobie question - Low Poly Proxy Mesh Usage

[tsrajesh]

Hi All,
Am a long time gamer but a new game-making enthusiast, trying to cram a lot of things into my tiny brain before i have the time to digest them properly..
After being told in some forums that Makehuman is not suitable for games due to it's high poly counts, i recently came across the "Low Poly Proxy" Mesh being added to makehuman. I am not familiar with "Proxy Meshes". Can I use it for my low poly game creation? If so, can you please point me to a tutorial or something?
Thanks a lot.
Raj

Take a look at the documentation for importing into blender. When doing that you have the option to also import/setup a low poly proxy mesh (actually several alternatives).

I don't think you can get one directly from MH, you'll have to go via MHX and blender to get at the low-poly thingy.
