Ken's links has the answer for that too :]

The ifrst requires that you make your object out of a mesh rather than
POV's solid objects. This is one of the infamous Chris Colefax macros at:

And the other possibility though I have not tried it myself would be to
use the trace() function in the super patch. The last suggestion might
be a real bear to control though (a real bear get it ?) . The super
patch may be found at:

You might also try the povray.org links page which now offers a search
engine. I believe I have identified a couple of texture sites that have
hair/skin textures available as image maps. Do a search for hair/skin at:
