Learning Outcomes
* All 3D graphics systems draws objects using triangles
* 3 points in 3D space are required to draw 1 triangle
* 3D graphics systems can draw triangles in strips
* Triangle strips are the most efficient drawing method
* 3D triangles have a "front face" and a "back face"
* All flat and curved 3D surfaces are "skinned" using triangles
Skill Outcomes
* Ability to define and manipulate points in 3D space
* Ability to construct complex shapes using points
* Ability to "skin" complex shapes using triangles
* Ability to create efficient 3D objects using triangle strips
* Ability to "skin" complex surfaces using triangles
* Ability to move objects along a 3D axis (X, Y and Z)
* Ability to rotate objects around a central position
* Ability to reshape and resize objects using scaling
