first install it.
then once you have the scene you wish to render, run LuxPose (there will be an icon on your desktop from the Installer)
make your adjustments to the settings then press OK
now run the export Python script in Poser.

open LXS file in Luxrender as normal.

i have AIR installed. i opened the GUI from luxpose and it doesnt work. i changed some settings and then in luxrender noticed that they didnt translate.

so it didnt work.

Not all settings will transfer over, yet.  But most do.  I am assuming that only after you ran luxpose GUI and and made your changes did you run the python script to export.  Also, you won't see any changes in Luxrender until you load the scene and start rendering.  Though I'm sure you know all of this already. 

Perhaps ADP can correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think any of the settings on the 'Render Settings' tab actually work yet.
