you could try something like ArchiPuppet here
However the poly count would get high. It might be easier for you to add the people as images in photoshop?

Did you take your camera with you to church this morning?

What do you EXACTLY want to do?

1. Show the congregation in prayer in a rendering of the hall

2. Show the figures in your construction documents

?

If 1, Erika's advice is the best. I would make the billboards using ArchiFacade and place them accordingly. Yes, quite bit of work ... You can do the same for Artlantis.

If 2, use the 2D outlines of people to illustrate the relationship of the seated/standing people and the space designed.

There are quite a few posts on this, do a search and also look at Dwight Atkinson's many excellent posts.You should also consider purchasing one or more of his books.
