In my former game engine that I scrapped, I had it where every object could have a set of animations. These animations were a list of translation waypoints as well as rotation values. Both these values were for a given number of seconds. So, say I wanted to move a box forward (in the Z direction) for 10 seconds, and after 10 seconds start to move it backwards for 10 seconds. What that would look like in my .script file would be:

animation 1
translate 0,0,10 in 10 seconds
rotate 0,0,0 in 10 seconds
translate 0,0,-10 in 10 seconds
rotate 0,0,0 in 10 seconds

That being said, at the start of each new "move" (separate part of the animation sequence) I would get the FPS, check how many seconds I wanted this move to complete in (10 in the above example), and then calculate how many frames of animation that would be. Then once I knew how many frames I would be rendering for this move I would calculate dx,dy, and dz based on the information. Albeit, that was only linear interpolation, it worked well, especially for that being my first game project.
