Ya know, there is so much more to a 3d game than just the 3d display of graphics.
Even with opengl displaying the texture where you want them, you have to do tons of things like collision, lighting, keeping the poly count small, physics, ai, etc...
If you spend all your time re-inventing the wheel, you most likely will give up at some point and a full engine (or game, even) will never get made. I'm just being really, really realistic here. :-)
