LearningWorks has an interface to OpenGL that works under Windows. It is
free.
I'm not sure if you can just strip out the interface to OpenGL but for your
purposes you may be able to use LearningWorks as is. Or you can always ask
if you can take the OpenGL --
http://learningworks.neometron.com/default.htm. For some reason I believe
that I read that it was available. Anyhow see below for some of the features
of LearningWorks:

LearningWorks is under active development. This release of LearningWorks was
released on July 31, 1997. It features:

The ability to start LearningWorks without loading a course. Once started,
you can use the Course Binder's Settings page to specify the names of the
course definition file, course directory, and user directory.

A new implementation of the LearningBook framework that greatly simplifies
the preparation of book sections and pages.

A completed set of Smalltalk programming tools that obey the
author-specified rules for class and method visibility.

A revised and extended set of documentation.
 The ability to create applications using 3D graphics for Windows 95 and NT
systems with OpenGL.

The ability to link to Open Community, a multicast communications framework
from Mitsubishi Electric ITA. Open Community runtime capability is available
NT 4.0 only. We use Open Community to link multiple team members for
chat-based communications and shared construction of virtual worlds.

New books. The Turtles book has been revived. This release also includes
books that show off the new simulation framework, 3D graphics, and Open
Community.
