As far as I know the best one for POVRay is Poser.
By the way, is there any Poser free copy somewhere on the net, I heard
that Poser 4 had been released free, but never could find a copy.

Poser isn't a human modelling program. Poser you use models other
people have made and pose 'em.

There were some Poser 3 free in magazines but Poser 4 was never released
free. In fact, CuriousLabs has repackaged it and now sells it (for 100$)
under the name "Poser Artist" on its website.

Don't know about the best, but you might want to look at Wings3D.

It's unlikely that any version of Poser would be available for download,
because it's a bit large. The free version of Poser3 is 139Mb, plus 70Mb
of tutorial files and 33Mb of extra content. Look for P3 on magazine
discs.
I've not heard of P4 being given away free. There have been extremely
restricted demo versions on magazine discs. In particular the demo
version doesn't contain any of the P4 models. Many people prefer P4 or
P4pro to P5, because P5 is considerably slower and harder to learn to
use, so I'd expect there to still be a market for P4.

People who do human modeling use high-end software such as Maya, Max,
Lightwave and such.
Outside high-end commercial software, the choice is pretty limited to
Blender (see the MakeHuman project http://www.dedalo-3d.com/makehuman.html)
and Wings (both free but far from being commercial-quality software).
In any case it's hard work and there are tutorials around the net that
describe the process. See this page for a detailed explanation of the making
of a commercial model.
http://www.daz3d.com/pages/faq/answers/michael/making.html
They don't tell what software they used though (I think it was Lightwave but
could be wrong).

Poser :)
If you like to do this from start, well... something with good subdividion
surfaces and a good 3d graphic card, say, from GeForce2 above. I have some
links to free or low-cost software, right at
http://www.matkovic.com/anto/linkovi.html . Wings3d (free) or Metasequioa
(free for non-comercial), between them. Commercial apps like a XSI or Maya
have some extra features, but really nothing outstanding. Subdividion
surfaces can be exported and animated almost everywhere, today. Just don't
forget this is not easy way. Some good (and commercial :) results can be
achieved after a long time (well, this is my case, hope you will be better).

Yes, that's my mistake, it's Poser 3 that's been released ...
