For the reasons given, 'integration' with Blender isn't possible. However Blender is moving to implement USD for file transfers (USD being universal scene description). It's a Pixar system that would allow working between different software in a common workflow. Essentially, if Poser also got USD you could import whole scenes into Blender or just about anything else that uses it. From what I have seen, the issue so far has been poor maintenance of the file transfer formats (like FBX) so that things don't move nicely. Hopefully USD might come a step closer to a common transfer platform.

Here's the problem, and maybe Renderosity will be better, but Poser's development schedule sucks. It's all nice and good that Blender has USD, but how long will it take before and IF Poser adopts it? How long ago was it that Poser adopted Cycles? Has it improved? How long ago was it that Poser adopted the Hair room? Has it improved? How long have people been asking Poser for a collapsed hierarchy editor, or instances, or a number of other wishes? If I had only one wish to ask Renderosity/Bondware for at this point in time it would be to get on a DECENT development schedule and STICK to it!
