The Poser-Lux-Exporter is open source. Any Poser fan should have an interest to support this project because it is a big step toward "reality render" your Poser scenes.

The geometry exporter part is written by **ODF.
**Material export and light is written by Bagginsbill.

If you can program in Python: Welcom to the club! Grab the code and put your part into the project. Available code is easy to understand/follow, just wrap your code into a class.

If you are somebody whith an understanding how Lux handles materials: We all are waiting for your genial shaders.

If you are good with text: We need somebody able to document/decribe things in a form a common Poser user is able to understand (HTML prefered).

Until yesterday any detail of the project was discussed in this public forum. So even those fans without programming skills could follow, contribute test renders (an important part, because a render isn't done in minutes) and feel as a part of the project.

If you are really interested in this project, here are some important links:

http://www.luxrender.net/
Here you can find ready to install packages for Windows, Mac and Linux. Don't miss to read the documentation. You are on a professional stage with Lux - no click and go anymore (I'm kidding) ;)

This packages is a snapshot from the latest exporter sources. Just start the first script (PoserLuxExporter.py) to export from Poser to files Lux can use.

This project is at an early stage and far from beeing perfect (Alpha stage).
