I have been working on what you want for 5 years. At first I came up with Lani
as a language.

It sucks. I now use POV-Ray. Have you learned POV-Ray? Have you seen this:

I fully agree, POV-Ray isn't as powerful as, say, Maya. But it is as powerful
as you are going to get in free software.

I downloaded Lani long time ago, not deeply tested it but i wouldn't say it
sucks.
I know about POV-Ray, ray-tracing primitives and Constructive Solid Geometry.
