The backwards button arrangement in Blender still bugs me enough that I avoid it and go straight to Wings. LOL. If I want to use another render engine I use Luxrender thru Pose2Lux or Kerkythea via .obj export and Poser's collect for output and then just tweak my materials in Kerky. Editing materials files for Luxrender is rather easy, but you need to study the materials and keep backups of your files. Can be done tho - I've done it many times.
