Until we have something more automatic, here's a handy way of getting fairly good matches between Poser and Lux for light and camera positions:
1) IMPORTANT: Measure everything in Poser using native units.
2) Use the dolly camera. I'm not sure yet how the other cameras work.
3) Use spotlights.
4) For all lights and the camera, add an invisible object to the scene to point them at.
5) Compute the field of view from the camera's Focal parameter as follows (like in the attached code):
fov = 360.0 * math.atan(12.0 / focal) /
math.pi
Obviously, this is not perfect. But we'll get there eventually. :laugh:
