I have to create library that render static, simple shapes with some 3d effects such as rotation and bevels. Shapes can contains text or image on it.
Something similar to this:
I think that with GDI+ it will be hard to implement so is there any CLS compliant library that will help me with rendering?
P.S. I can not use WPF.

Simple Graphics Library (SGL) is an easy to use graphics library build in PHP. It is build upon the GD library distributed with PHP. SGL uses a flexibel design, used in many graphics engine libraries, to render all the graphics on screen. This makes it possible to do all kind of graphic manipulation.
A graphics library is a program library designed to aid in rendering computer graphics to a monitor. This typically involves providing optimized versions of functions that handle common rendering tasks.
SFML is used heavily in making games and even game engines. And even though SFML doesn't support 3D rendering yet it is used for context creation. Since OpenGL can't create a window, 3D graphics programmers use SFML (at least most of the time) for the task.
Most people use the gd library for rendering from C but you must implement the "math plotting" part.
Try to read the following stackoverflow page to choose the engine:
What to use? Tao, SharpGL, OpenTK, DirectX P/Invoke, XNA, MDX, SlimDX, Windows API Codec Pack
One example for the Tao framework with C# can be found in codeproject:
OpenGL 3D Navigation with Tao and C#

You could try SFML: main page - features (includes bindings).
It's got a Shape primitive, is based on OpenGL rendering and includes support for shaders.
