POV-Ray is really a remarkable program. Most of the world works like
this:- the easier a thing is to use, or the better it's results, or
the more attractive the item is for some other reason - the mre
expensive it is. The harder a thing is to use, or the lower the
quality, or.. and so on .. the cheaper it is.

You're after some of the most complex, difficult, expensive features
(furr on a werewolf anyone? Posing humans and fantasy creatures ?)
with the minimum amount of effort at little or no cost. I wish you the
best of luck (and as it happens I'd like exactly the same features
cheap or free too) but don't be surprised if you find you have to
compromise either on ease-of-use or quality (or possibly both).

POV is remarkable in that it's certainly easier to use than it could
be (it's not a modeller), it produces superb results if you put enough
effort in (or borrow someone else's efforts - like macro and .inc file
creators) and it's not only cheap - it's FREE. Not even a $15
registration fee or somesuch.
