There is another option. LuxRender is open source. Which means anybody can get it, and add the ability for it to read a Poser scene file directly.
Then all you gotta do is mark up the shaders with fake nodes to tell this importer which Lux materials to use. It wouldn't have to deal with the Poser shader.
I do this all the time - I put nodes in shaders that don't do anything, but I can use them as data in my VSS script. That's how I deal with shader rules. It would be no big deal to put a LuxShader Rules material on a prop or figure. Then you'd load Poser representations of Lux shaders, edit the parameters, save the whole thing and just render it.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
