> Has anyone determined if they can convert/import Poser 5 models to PovRay?
> If so, are there limitations?

In addition to what other people said, the main "limitation" is simply that
Poser 5 is still just a posing tool (at least from a POV-Ray point of view -
there are lots of people who use it for rendering and then photoshop the
results). While this version is shipped with much better models than the
previous ones, Poser is dependent on the models imported into it, and the
best ones (characters, hair, clothes, textures, poses) are commercial. You
may want to have a little budget for this otherwise you'll be stuck with the
original Poser models and the few free ones of decent quality.
Another limitation is animation : Poser can do very nice character
animation, but to get this into POV-Ray (and into other software in fact)
isn't straightforward and requires exporting each frame.
