Quote - The "correct" way to do it with Lux is to use an environment (something like a "skyglobe"). Lux has a special light for that. Loaded with one HDR image the light creates the environment and uses the same image as IBL. So you hardly can avoid correct lighting :)

Converting "correctly" set Poser IDL/IBL to get a matchable result is ... hard. The other question is: Do we want it matchable? I think no. If you want, you can quit Lux and use Firefly.

The goal is to get really good images at the end. Converting things defined in Poser helps a lot to get a startpoint. For some Poser setups it may be the correct result. Other automatic convertions may need help. Especially if complicated nodesets hide what the result should be.

After the conversion the GUI is there to support you getting the finals done. Even setting IBL or an environment. At the end and with a bit luck this can be done in (nearly) realtime.

I'm sorry adp (and perhaps I'm just not understanding...lol) but are you saying that we should try to mimic Poser's lights in Lux rather than pitch the Poser lights and use the closest matching Lux light?

I thought the point was to use Lux because of it's strengths? Forgive me if I've misunderstood.
