Hey, so you really can't just "import" an obj file (or any other 3D model) into your project. You would need to create the class that would read the values from your 3D model (obj file). A common library that does the hard work for your is Assimp. But you can make your own custom OBJ (or any other 3D model file format) file loader. That would be difficult cause youll need to implement a way to read the vertices/ normals/ texture coordinates/ and faces (indices). You can use OpenGL/Vulkan or you can make the 3D game engine from complete scratch just using c++ and no API. Yes you would be able to make your character move if you used OpenGL. You can do anything with any coding language. You can use Codeblocks or Visual Studio as your IDE. Hope this helped.
