Instead of fumbeling some cycles rip off into Poser, it would have been better establish a Blender Bridge. That kind of a bridge for bringing your scene to Blender including cycles materials plus a return for creating morphs for your figures and objects. But all this would not justify an upgrade, for it can be simply done as a plug in. >Poser has reached its limits.

Having a Bridge to Blender will not help sell copies of Poser to anyone.

Users from the Blender eco system needing Pre-fabbed figures have two plugins to get Daz genesis figures into Blender with auto material conversion.

Diffeomorphic by Thomas Larson and the Official Daz to Blender bridge and both are FREE just like Blender.

An Iclone CC3 user even created a free blender addon for us Iclone CC3 users

Exisiting Poser users ,who are already using Blender for creating their own content or market place products have sorted out the back & forth for morph creation without a specific plugin for poser.

And non content creators, in the poser user base, will never migrate to Blender just to use the REAL cycles or the Realtime EEVEE engine.

I say this because this is the group that considers Daz Studios Kiddie toy interface "too difficult to use" to gain access to the coveted,overrated ,golden unicorn(G8).

I doubt they will embrace Blender which has a far more complex interface than Daz studio.

So for Bondware to develop a dedicated Blender bridge would be a terrible waist of time & resources IMHO
