You guys are just amazing.  I came to this late (around page 25) so catching up and seeing how quickly you've accomplished so much was just... well just plain cool.  I had been on the fence and decided to download Lux because of the work you guys have done.  Ran a quick test with the 106 build, basically a  "click, click, render" thing, and was really surprised at how well it came out.  A grand total of maybe three hours later I had a pretty nice image.  Here's how it went...

I loaded V4, clicked a pose, clicked a character morph and texture.  Moved her hand a little.  Loaded floor and wall props.  Thought about lighting.

Since the light export hasn't been refined yet I decided to try and take advantage of the downward pointing lights.  Converted the default Poser lights to spotlights and pointed them straight down, I didn't change anything else.  Moved the lights around and placed scaled and rotated planes under them to act as reflectors in Lux.  It didn't come out quite like I hoped, but I have no complaints.

Went on to move the camera and change render sizes.  Started exporting.  Had to clean up material nodes (as expected) before I got a clean export.  The export only took about 16-17 seconds, I don't think I can even get an obj file out quite that fast.  Had to go back and shift cameras a couple of times to get a match of the view I wanted.  I wasn't surprised by that either because I couldn't remember what cameras were being used.  Once I got that worked I let Lux run for a bit.

Two hours and fifty minutes later I got this image.  This is a raw render from Lux with default render settings.  Once you guys get the exporter done I think it'll be a truly powerful tool and open up a whole lot of possibilities.

adp, bagginsbill, odf, we who are about to render salute you!  ;)
