Quote - adp, feeling rather peevish this morning?

No, surly not. Just a bit sarcasm, not more. I know about the various and different thinking people using Poser for all sort of work, including myself :)

I like Poser - I wish all this "professional 3D applications" would have a bit from Posers intuitive user interface.

On the other side: A professional render engine may become cheaper if more people from the big "just-a-hobby-lobby" would buy it (I think of something round about $100). So, this "one-click-material" feature for Poser is probably not bad. And not impossible. An external, interactive converter is one way ("What kind of material is this? Organic, Metal, Plastic ..., Skin dark, Skin light ..., Shiny plastic, ..., Real Reflections, ..."; "Would you like to use this ..., or this ... as a replacement for Poser-Material xyz?").
