Quote - But how would one go about writing a  Direct poser integration plugin for a proprietary non-open source engine like Maxwell from next limit or Vray from Chaos Group??

  1. Get an SDK for Maxwell or Vray.
  2. Use SWIG or any other of the many tools available to generate a Python wrapper for that SDK.
  3. Write a Poser->Maxwell or Poser->Vray bridge in Python by iterating over the scene elements in Poser (cameras, lights, materials, geometry) and passing them to the render engine SDK.
  4. Use wxPython to build a nice GUI for Poser 8.
