for those of you considering buying poser pro: consider the following

Poser pro will use a collada exporter and have a "special version" of quidam to get external meshes rigged and into poser.

Collada is not as well supported export as FBX

I NEVER use poser to render if I can help it.
FBX is available as a plugin for Daz Studio (which is better than poser for the core activity of actually posing) This will transfer Morph targets, animation paths, Bones and weight maps from DS into the application of choice. It costs $100 but it can  save hours of work. I import the poser mesh with rig, and re-jig the rig (sorry for the onomatopoeia) to add controls in max.
I can then pose with a superior posing set
Daz studio is a lot faster than poser in everthing (xpt saving a file) and the obj export actually has absolute referencing for the texture maps....

So why would you EVER get poser pro?
