I have a 3d application that allows scripting via Javascript files. Is there a way to launch node.js from that file and create a server of sorts to communicate with the 3D application?
Many thanks for ideas and alternatives!

Probably not. nodejs has a os-specific binary part (i.e. it’s not pure JavaScript). Also, the 3D JavaScript interpreter would fight with the one from nodejs and the results wouldn’t be pretty.
If the JavaScript dialect of your 3D application allows to open sockets (AJAX, maybe?), then you can use that to talk to a nodejs instance which is running independently.
