Let's add a triangle to the scene. Yeah, I know that a triangle isn't even a box. However, we're going to start with super simple tips. Triangles are the building blocks of all 3D graphics and the simplest shapes that OpenGL can render (that is, in triangle mode).
Before moving on, let's talk a little about geometry.
Virtual reality is largely about creating 3D scenes. Complex models are organized as three-dimensional data with vertices, faces, and meshes, forming objects that can be hierarchically assembled into more complex models. For now, we're taking a really simple approach—a triangle with three vertices, stored as a simple Java array.
The triangle is composed of three vertices (that's why, it's called a tri-angle!). We're going to define our triangle as top (0.0, 0.6), bottom-left (-0.5, -0.3), bottom-right (0.5, -0.3). The first vertex is the topmost point of the triangle and has X=0.0, so it's at the center and Y=0.6 up.
The order of the vertices...
