I rather would like to see a usefull export utility, which exports a Renderman file with all the data necessary, (forget the xport options P5 has now) or any other format which can be used in a high performance rendering engine. This should be easy to do and would prevent a lot of problems. Nobody who is in the business would implement its own high performance rendering engine, there are state of the art engines out there. Okay, the shaders would have to be translated, and the results would probably be different than on the Poserscreen, but this make no difference to the situation where P5 is now, where the renderoutput barely matches the screen setup. you then could do anything, like distributed rendering etc, without bothering about Poser. This sourcecode can not be rewritten, because parts of it are really old, or have you ever wondered that windows users are getting the old Mac watch when Poser is busy ?
