Shahrooz,

I would suggest doing some searches here or a place like zbrushcentral.com for information on normal and displacment maps. Basically you will need to bring in the 1st subdivision level of your model and apply one (or both depending on your needs) of these maps. This will help to display the detail you have in zbrush or mudbox on your lower rez model. Also, depending on how you created the model you may have to retopologize it in order to get a proper animation ready mesh.
Hope this helps.
