Im on windows i would like to have a .exe file which is a 3d viewer, similar to blender.
Which language do i code it?
Which libraries would i need to use?
Note: when i mean creating my own 3d engine i mean that i would do myself the maths, i dont want a prebuild one Thanks

If you are using C, you could consider SDL 3 as a base library.

Not a recommendation though. Just saying you can do so.
It has all the basic stuff: V-Sync, audio, input device handling etc.

Almost forgot to add... It also allows you to easily add stuff with Vulkan, OpenGL etc.
