Of course, you still need models (probably of people), which are not free, 
but they do go on-sale every now and then.  I got Victoria 3 for about $25 a 
few months ago, but it's normal price is around $40.  Daz|Studio can use the 
same models as Poser (though my experience has been that Poser 5 models 
don't work).  I'm not aware of any free Poser people models, but there may 
be some out there somewhere.  There is certainly a lot of free Poser stuff 
that should work in Daz|Studio.  If that's the route you want to take, get 
on their mailing list.   They seem to offer discounts every couple of 
months.

There's a great free poser model, "Mayadoll".

Do a google search for Mayadoll and you'll find a lot of related add-ons 
for it as well.
Also, Poser 5 is relatively cheap these days.  I bought it for about 
$180 USD about 18 months ago on amazon.com, and it's listed at $170 
right now but I've seen it for as low as $120.  Granted, it's more 
expensive than POVRay, but given the amount of time you can spend 
playing with CG, what price do you value your time at?
