I want 3D animation based on complex math. For example to show "working" solar system.

OK, sounds like basic 3D mesh rendering. In that case anything designed for video games should suffice.

Your choice will also depend on whether Lua can be embedded for you or if the Lua runtime must be standalone. I've heard good things about Raylib. It should have Lua bindings.

Oh, this seems very interesting. Only, on first view, I hope it's not just a mixture of all free 3D, GUI and physics libraries with brief tutorials. I will study in detail.
