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
