I do not forget the underlying stuff, I just wonder "What for?"
I mean, everybody can learn c\c++ in a couple of months but designing a 3d engine starting from openGl or direct x , is an other matter.
You must work full time a couple of years to design a decent 3d engine.
Honestly I would prefer a Blitz3D SDK , updated to direct x 9.c , accessible via C++,C#,or VB.
In anycase a 3D Module is must, in my opinion
