After many abortive attempts at modelling a knight from a twice-subdivided cube I came up with this. The shape seems recognizable enough to me, and loading the obj into DS or Poser I can render a recognisable knight (from a side view at least - the top and front views needed more work). I din't use the bottom face of the cube - I deleted it and simply extruded the bottom edges to give a starting point for the radially symetrical base.

The 3Dcheapskate (also available in DAZ and HiveWire3D flavours) occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
