I'll agree with the procedurals part of it. That would make everyone's lives much easier...lol. But how do you find out how Poser's procedural functions work? If that could be done, then perhaps there is a similar Luxrender or Blender procedural that can be switched out for the Poser one. That would be great! :D. Luxrender is pretty light on the procedurals, but Blender has a great deal and Luxrender reads those as well. And Blender is open source. I think that perhaps we might need to go that direction rather than try and directly interpret Poser's. Laurie
