I once again want to suggest to the shape developers of POV-Ray, to add
the following new shape to the POV-Ray shape collection:

HUMAN

This shape would greatly serve as reference to countless scenes. And
this shape could be manipulated the following way: The human statement
creates a human shape standing at the coordinates < 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 > and
towering along the Y axis, the body facing the same direction as an
"image_map". There are a few body modifications possible. The syntax is:

human
{
 Body_height
 [waist_angle WAIST_ANGLE] [head_angle HEAD_ANGLE]
 [face_action FACE_ACTION] [body_action BODY_ACTION]
 [OBJECT_MODIFIERS...]
}

The body can be bended through the waist_angle along the x, y and z axis
(bending down or sidewards or turning a bit around). The default value
is "0.0", a value of "1.0" reflects the maximum bending towards a
direction a regular human body is able to.

The head can be directed around the x, y and z axis as well, using again
values between 0.0 and 1.0.

The face can be made doing some things. The following keywords are
self-describing:
happy | angry  afraid | smiling
looking_up | looking_down | looking_angle < x, y, z > |
right_eye_closed, left_eye_closed

The hands, too, can be manipulated the same way. Their default position
is open (relaxed).
right_hand_fist, left_hand_fist
right_hand_pointing, left_hand_pointing
right_hand_holding, left_hand_holding

The legs, when not standing, can be addressed, too.
step_left | step_right | run_left | run_right | jumping

The entire body can be addressed with:
standing | sitting | bending_down

Where OBJECT_MODIFIERS are:
male | female | gender GENDER (0.0..1.0)
african | asian | european | indian/australian
baby | child | teen | adult | old | age AGE (0.0..1.0)
hairless | short_hair | regular_hair | long_hair | hair HAIR (0.0..1.0)
thin | regular | fat | weight WEIGHT (0.0..1.0)
shapy | extremely_shapy | shape SHAPE (0.0..1.0)
weakish | athletic | strength STRENGTH (0.0..1.0)
dressed | undressed

Enjoy working it out and getting headache! :-D
But we need it. We want it.
