Hi Sven,

I posted some Alpha source for POV-Person in January that does all the 
things you describe by using POV-Ray macros and include files
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.scene-files/thread/%3C43bb0b2b%40news.povray.org%3E/.

You  add a 'default' person with the povperson() macro and can tailor it by 
setting variables. Various poses are included such as a walking sequence 
illustrated in the animation at 
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.animations/attachment/%3C434287ae%40news.povray.org%3E/pp00animationexample0101.gif?ttop=227171&toff=50.

You can also add your own poses in separate files and can pose all of the 
moving body parts including each individual segment of each of the fingers 
and toes. The main thing you can't yet do with this version is change the 
facial expression (except for rotating the eyes) and the range of clothing 
is pretty limited, but the clothes do move with the person.

There are a few images from an older version of POV-Person showing just the 
head with various alternative hairstyles, skin colours and makeup at 
http://www.telinco.co.uk/c_bartlett/povperson/head/index.htm. There's a 
gallery of hairstyles and the variable settings needed to generate those 
hairstyles at 
http://www.telinco.co.uk/c_bartlett/povperson/head/hairsamples.htm.

Regards,
Chris B.
