I am not exactly sure what you mean by "other unix"
languages but I will answer the question for C. Graphics/computations can be a very CPU intensive process. Most of the unix kernel and daemons are written in the C programming language. Kernel is the central "core" of unix. Users interact with the kernel using shells. Calls to the kernel are made directly through the C library. C can be considered native to unix and thus efficient, which is probably one the reasons why it is good for graphics. What other Unix languages were you thinking of ? Best Wishes.

First off, please do not post in all caps.
Next, I don't really understand what exactly you're asking. Are you wanting to know which languages are used for 3d animation? Or why one is better than the other? |

clarification
I would like to know which languager are used,why.and where to get information for beginners on these languages. Languages I have seen listed for animation are: csh scripting,awk/sed,tcl/tk,C/C++/&PERL. If you know any chatrooms that might be helpful, that info would also be great.

csh - C Shell, mainly shell scripting
awk/sed - more of pattern matching, regular expressions, string manipulation and substitution types of commands tcl/tk - Tool Command Language/Tool Kit PERL - Practical Extraction Language tcl/tk and Perl are more or less both programming languages used for scripting, application programming. Perl/Cgi has been used for web scripting as a companion to HTML. perl can also interface with databases such as Oracle, Sybase, mySQL, etc. I have not used tcl/tk, but I believe it is like Perl and in addition you can do some GUI (Graphical User Interface) development with it. C/C++ are programming languages, as we talked before. Hopefully this help. I would suggest that you search on yahoo, lycos, etc. to find more relevant information for what you are looking for or try to buy some Unix (Applications) books, etc. Best Wishes
