There are lots of (3rd party) 3D frameworks available for Mac OS X
that don't require any OpenGL knowledge (including Blender at: <http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/
>).
Blender is a 3D modeling and animation tool, not a library.
To return to the original poster's question, yes - you will have to
either write some OpenGL code or use something outside Cocoa to get 3D
graphics. NSImage is strictly limited to 2D images.
(I'm purposefully ignoring QD3D here, because it's completely
unsupported. I'm not sure if it's even available under OS X.)
