As to importing the scene from Poser as obj I know Blender has always been able to import an obj yes has it rendered well from Poser by defualt not with out allot of tweaking and work usually textures would be flipped lighting from one to the other was not compatiable main issue usually due to Posers native scaling which often was so tiny that you have to usually increase the scaling from Blenders defualt to at least 50 times of Posers. Has that changed sinc3e the release of 2.69 be honest I don't know I have seen that Poser's scaling still comes in rather tiny in Blender but zooming in has made it easier to model on a Poser figure than before. I have only started to fully explore cycles renderer and from the forums that I follow that focus on the use of Poser, Daz in conjuntion with Blender these scripts have made things a tad simpler for those who are also just starting out with Blender especial those with in the DAZ communities. I have and do follow the forums at BlenderArtist since I am a member there as well but have noticed that the post related to Poser or Daz Studio are as not numerous as they are here or even Daz3D and much of the advice I have given you today came from my times doing searches and asking questions especially here at Renderosity not taking anything away from anywhere else but we have a strong and knowledgable community that I have grown to trust if they lead me down a path to help answer my questions. So can you Render a defualt scene export from Poser as obj perhaps will it hurt to make your job easier using some scripts that were contributed just for that reason to make life a little easier why not. The wonderful thing about learning is we can do it so many ways. Sorry for the long winded answer
