OK, so I've got a scene, and I want to put a young girl in it. What are my
options? Is Poser my only realistic choice? I'm hoping for something free,
and my modelling skills aren't that great so making it myself is probably
out of the question.

You can try DAZ Studio (it is free) to set up the character and some of 
the free models at DAZ or Renderosity. DAZ Studio reads Poser files. To 
render it in POV-Ray you can use PoseRay.

DAZ: www.daz3d.com
Renderosity: www.renderosity.com
PoseRay: user.txcyber.com/~sgalls/

There are a few other sites with free models for Poser that work in DAZ 
studio also. Renderosity is a good staring point.

There are many models that require a base mesh to work but there are a 
several that are complete and free.

good luck,

Thanks, this has gotten me started. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any
of these free models. The DAZ site doesn't seem to have any at all, and
Renderosity has a "free stuff" area, but it's so poorly organized and
difficult to search that I can't really get anything out of it. (There are
plenty of models, but none of them actually seem to be characters.)
Frustrating!

Some of those sites are disorganized but here is a simple guide:

Get a DAZ account and when you go to the DAZ Studio section and click on 
download you will get several files for download in your account. One 
will be DAZ Studio and the other is "DAZ|Studio Base Content Figures" 
This file contains a complete Victoria 3 low resolution for DAZ Studio. 
This figure is compatible with Victoria 3 items like maps and poses.

Other free complete figures:

Staci Low Res:
http://www.3duniverse.co.za/freestuff.asp

Sara: (needs free DAZ account)
http://forum.daz3d.com/forum_freebies/ps_pe041b_Sara.exe

Maya Doll:
http://www.3digitalcrafts.net/studiomaya/1download/mdb/index.html

Sixus figures (Behemoth, HIM, HER, etc) (needs free Renderosity account)
http://www.renderosity.com/freestuff.ez?Form.Contrib=sixus1&Topsectionid=0

MDP: (Japanese site - download on bottom of page)
http://mdp.s18.xrea.com/

For free hair meshes: (can be used with any model)
http://digitalbabes2.com/


There are some others but these should get you started. Those models are 
all for Poser but will also work with DAZ Studio.

Good luck,

FlyerX

Anton Matkovic has beautiful girl models in Hamapatch and SPatch (Both of
which are free path modeller). I don't have the website now but it's easily
googlable.
I also made a male version of his models and I might put up a tutorial
sometime in the future for realistic human patch modelling (I posted one of
them in the povray.binaries.images newsgroup). In my opinion Matkovic
tutorial and works on human is by far the best free and easily available
human model. If you can't find the models in Matkovic's site (I think he
removed it but I am not sure) I can also send you the patches of them.

Sincerely,
Jose Capco

I think you are right. After a quick search, I can' t find any models to
download.

Here is a site where you can download a Poser model or two, as long as
you don't mind Asian girls.

http://www.eurus.dti.ne.jp/~masasi/Service/indexE.html

The pae system includes Nenelite which is set up so that the breasts
can be animated when the model is moving.

TenTen requires P5 Judy or Victoria 2(I think, could work with 3)  Cancan
and Ranran can work with the Preteen Victoria, or the P4 Posette.  An-An for
Judy, and I think there's a version for VIctoria, beautiful model.  All
requre another figure to work with.  Might try Studio Maya, Mayadol and
variations, standalone figures.  Yamato's figures, where your link points,
are far the more beautiful, but not the only ones.

I might be interested in it for my future art. But does anyone here know if
the beta needs a 3D accelerator? I don't have one (and I don't think I'll
plan to have one until probably when I really want to animate something)
and I've been working with PovRay fine without one... but when I tried
installing the DAZ Studio it seems to have conflict with my graphic card
driver (a cheap onboard Prosavage 3 card) so I was thinking that this could
be maybe because the Studio requires me a 3D accelerator. Does anyone know?

Sincerely,
Jose Capco

I can't remember if you need the OBJ file I think you do. If that is
the case then It might be possible to get a loan of one somewhere, for
evaluation purposes.
