3D objects in VB>NET

I want to develop an VB.NET application that displays 3D objects I can rotate, move - more specific - furniture parts
More important I want to select a "skin" and apply it to the objects. If I want the table to bee green I apply thr green skin and so on.
I dont want my application to create the objects ... just to display them and manage them.

I have 0 experience in such Graphics things and I would appreciate an advice or an link to something similar.

Thank you

Take a look at windows presentation foundation. It has a pretty good 3D engine.
