What improvements does the Poser SR bring for the exporter?
It was posted previously, but here is a response from Rob Whisenant
Work on the Cr2 Exporter continues. The next iteration includes fixes for a few bugs and exposes the exporter to the DAZ Script API, similarly to the OBJ exporter. This means that a script can be written to improve the process by dramatically reducing the number of manual steps and consolidating any options that are still needed into a single dialog. Writing that script is the next thing in the queue [for the exporter]. Following that will be the documentation, as it is likely to change significantly. Said script will not be in the next build... it will have to follow. No, I don't have a date for when the public will get the next build or the script. There is a [private] testing cycle that is scheduled to start tomorrow. Feedback from that batch of tests will influence the release schedule.
included in the build I mentioned is a fix for the bug where the default UVs are always exported instead of the current UVs as was outlined in the tutorial. There has been some work done on scaling, but I don't recall whether that made it into the 4.0.3.19 release or if it is in this next one; sorry, way too much going on to keep details from several builds ago in the front of my mind - the team is already quite a ways past the 4.0.3.x branch and into 4.1.x. Also realize that some of the things we've done is dependent on a Service Release for Poser in order to work... clothing and hair among them.
Rob is explaining what is being done in the next version of the exporter. He also hints at needing the next Poser SR for it to work on the current version and the next version.
I wanted to know what improvements does the exporter bring when the SR is used?
No idea. Ill ask and see if its something we can share.
