Im new to OpenGL and i want to make a 3d model using OpenGL, GLU, and GLUT. it has to have several objects and at least one GLU quadrics object and nine different colors. can anyone help a newbie like with some coding, sites with 3d modeling coding, etc. thanks.

If you want to do modeling I would sugest starting out learning how to load a simple model format from a file. Nehe has a tutorial on .MS3D model loading. Look it up.

If you just want to create a model using standard OpenGL shapes, Nehe has tutorilas on cylinders and spheres.
