The structure is similar. That's probably true (I looked at the code). But it's also not unusual because the data is organized in a format that has been popular among C programmers for decades. Simplified:  [<number of entries in total>][<[string length>, <string name>, <pointer to data package>], [...], ...]. In between a few things you have to guess without docs. For a morph, the structure of a data pakage is obvious (vertices).

But it is interesting to see that MMD has a more active and obviously larger userbase than Poser.
