I'm working on the irtc horror project, and I need a human profile to
cast a shadow.
I fin dit terribly difficult to make it by hand in pov-ray, but is there
any way I can import the files made with other 3d-programs. I often find
humanoid figures around the web but no one of them are in pov-format.
I use pov-ray only, no other progs.

If you only need this figure as a shadow caster I would suggest to you a
method Mick Hazelgrove and I have used in our IRTC entry for history.
You take a image of the shadow you would like to cast and put it
penpendicular to the lightpath. Make sure that all the parts that are
not casting shadows are transparent (We used the gif format ... any
other that has tranparency is OK too). The image has been applied on a
very thin box. I worked fine for used and is less memory consumating
than a 3D figure.

All the Best,

Marc
