Blender-Poser Interchange

Given the state of Poser...
I really wish that there were someone with the knowledge of both Blender and Poser and the program skills to create a tool that could let me load and use PZ3s and other Poser content into blender to further edit and render.
 
Poser uses Blender's Cycles engine now, as a renderer. Indeed, the new Poser 14 has the latest version of Cycles (in Poser it's rebranded as 'SuperFly'). What would be the advantage of using Blender?

Blender's render is more advanced and supports Micro-Poly displacement, and has for years now. Poser is not only not getting new features, it is losing features. One of the main reasons I supported Poser Pro was for the ability to host renders in other software and for the Queue manager. Poser Pro is gone, hosting apps are gone, and Queue Manager has been greatly restricted since P13.

As More users have been moving content back and forth with Blender, I think it would be fantastic to have a toolset to host or import scenes from Poser into Blender to take advantage of Blenders tools and features.
