Nice work.
There is no universal "physics says" way to convert color to grayscale.
But if you're trying to match a camera, you can't do it by simply averaging R, G, B which is usually what people do.
You might want to try my Artistic Lens, which lets you render B&W directly in Poser, no Photoshop or other postwork.
Anyway the equation that is identical to B&W television involves a weighted sum, which I included in the Artistic Lens.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
