An EZMat question in the meantime.
When translating scenes to LuxRender (via Pose2Lux or Reality) or to Octane, the support for all the pretty advanced things in Material Room is quite limited. The translations can handle most of the PoserSurface channels en the image-map node as well, but large node-trees plugged into Alt-Diffuse will get lost. Simply stated; when you can't get it done in the Simple interface to MatRoom, it's likely that you won't get it exported to LuxRender / Octane / any other external render out there.
Hence it might be relevant for some users to have a tool which simpifies things, and uses the common channels Diffuse, Specular etc to their best.
Can EZMat play a role in this or is it leaning heavily on the Alt-... channels instead?
Yes, for sure - it's already on the 'to do' list :-)

Definitely. I'd be very happy to give my input and do some proof-reading. No questions of my own spring to mind at the moment, but I'll let you know if I think of any.
