Unfortunately, nope. Direct compatibility would be nice, but....as you might imagine, the MD team would prefer to keep their robust sim system to themselves. They are a smallish company, and need to continue to get the funds to further develop the program. And, frankly, most of that development comes from their real-world manufacturing side (CLO3D), which has other goals than Poser usage. They do make it fairly easy to import Poser figures into MD, and run the cloth simulation there, then export the finished posed garment (which is what most Poser/MD users like myself end up doing.

I have here and with them proposed a 'player' that can be called from Poser, using the addon mechanism also used for DSON and Snarly's subdivider. MD users would have a huge market potential for selling their definitions and MD can keep their technology for themselves.
