Well at this point cycles is only available as an integrated renderer of blender 2.6
So there is No "stand alone" version that accepts XML files and I know of no plans to release on from the Author of Cycles.
I personally think a Blender based plugin that reads the PZ3 format would be the best solution as this is what we have with the
INTERPOSER PRO
plugin for cinema where I just access my runtime and load ALL poser  directly from within Cinema4D and from there repose ,remorph ,recloth etc. and render it in C4D's native AR3,Vray or even Maxwell.

Cheers

I agree. A direct Poser scene to Blender would be awesome. And since both programs use Python, I don't see a reason why it can't be done well. Shame I'm no programmer ;).

When the Poser to Lux was proposed, I sugested that a Poser to Blender would be more apropiated since once in Blender there would be a lot more posibilities (Lux, Yafaray, Blender internal, POV, and so on) I asked people to test Blender to see this  posibility and some people almost kill me :-S don't you remember that Laurie ;-) I'm really happy that your allergy to Blender got better. LOL

I wasn't for it at the time because Blender's render engine is, frankly, not that great. I'd never used Yafaray but knew Luxrender was rather easy to understand. I don't remember killing anyone, but whatever....

Ever since Blender switched to 2.5 it is much easier to use than any versions before that...2.4x was absolutely dreadful. It'd scare the pants off anyone new to modeling.
