Learning Outcomes
* A triangle can have up to 3 color values
* 24 bit color is RGB and 32 bit color is RGBA format
* RGBA stands for " red, green, blue, alpha "
* 24 and 32 bit color can display 16.7 million possible colors
* Painting a triangle requires " texture mapping " and UV' s
* 3D triangles have a " front face " and a " back face "
* 3D systems often cull " back facing " triangles
* " Normals " are an invisible yet important part of a 3D model
* A lighting / shading calculation is performed using " normals "
* Smooth shading requires 3 normals per triangle
* A triangle can have " alpha " values in the color to define transparency
* A triangle can have up to 3 " alpha " transparency values, one per point
* Transparency can also be defined within a " texture map " image
* Multiple " texture map " images can be applied to a set of triangles
* Reflection calculation is also performed using " normals "
