I have written a set of objects which do 3D graphics.  They support 
heirarchical modelling, multiple renderers per scene, and a View3D object 
you can place in window using Interface Builder.  Of course it gives
you object-oriented graphics.  The API is based more-or-less on the
2nd edition of Foley and VanDamm, which is a subset of PHIGS.

You can plug any kinds of renderers you want into it.  I have only had time
to write a wire-frame renderer.

The system isn't polished, isn't documented, and I won't have time to do
more work on it unless someone wants to pay me.  Hint hint.  Let me know
if you're interested.
