But your comment reminds me of my own early days in Computer Graphics, say 32 years ago, ....

It is only an example and it doesn't mean that you have to edit a text as in PovRay, you can use a GUI.

Analyze the text and see how it works and compare with Poser. For example you have Victoria 4 that has a lot of materials. In Poser if you want her to have a darker or an blue skin you have to go to the material room and change one by one the diffuse color of each material and it are a lot.

A direct translation of each Poser material to Lux material will change nothing, you still will have to change one by one the diffuse color of each Lux material.

But if you create a LuxMaterial as in mine example you will need to change only one parameter to have all the materials of the figure change. You can have a GUI with parameters such as skin color, skin reflectivity and so on that work on all the figure and not material by material.
