I'm kinda new to programing in C because I normally did programing in Java dealing with 2d applications. Right now I wanted to work on a 3D Modeler in C, mainly do to its' overwhelming speed in comparison to Java in compiling. So I was wondering if anyone could help give me any leads or info to help me to start this project.
OpenGL I reckon would be a place to start.
Before you can build a 3D modeler, you need two things:
1. A good understanding of the C language.
2. A good understanding of 3D math.
Also, if you are used to Java, you may want to consider C++ instead of C. Correctly done, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference in performance, but the task of working on 3D objects is much simpler in C++ since you can for example produce classes for vertices and matrices that you can use with basic math.

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
