Have a look at TCL, Tool Command Language. C code for an extensible
interpreter, designed to save everyone time & effort building front
ends for assorted things.


Author of the language John Ousterhout, formerly of Sun & some university,
has just started a company of TCL specialists. Best reference I know of
is on their home page:
http://www.scriptics.com/links.html


There's even a pointer to a TCL programming text en francais.


Since you're doing 3D things, you should also look at
http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~martink
home page for VTK, the 3D Visualisation Tool Kit, written in TCL.
