I suppose one could export finished scenes via PoseRay. Not sure if that would do much good for LuxRender, but I understand it does sort-of provide some sort of bridge to Blender. Mind you, all this is a total grey area for me. Grey, as in: charcoal.

In the interest of wheel reinvention prevention, I think it may indeed be a good idea to have a look at PoseRay. I have to confess I don't know much about it. Is it open source? What language is it written in? Since it can export to various formats, I'm assuming there must be a decent exporting API, and it would be feasible to add an exporter for Lux. Probably still a lot of work, though.

I was thinking something a little more seamless if possible ;o). The less hoops I have to jump thru from one to the other, the less chance I have at screwing it up...lol.

Actually, I was thinking more like the lines of the Reality plugin, only for Poser. I asked the creator of that plugin if a Poser version would be forthcoming and was told nope. Not that I don't admire what the man did with the plugin - it seems to have many nice features - but I just don't use DS ;o).
