# 3D Basics

Let's review some bascis of 3D computer graphics. If you have no idea what these conpect are, then check out Javidx9's video on [3D graphics](https://youtu.be/ih20l3pJoeU?t=127) (watch the first part).

| Concept  | Explanation                    |
| -------- | ------------------------------ |
| Vertices | A point in 3D space            |
| Edge     | Two vertices connected         |
| Face     | Edges that are joined together |

These three concepts makes upp a so-called **mesh**. Check out the [Wikipedia Article ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_mesh)for more information.

Another thing you should know is meterial and texuture.

| Vertices | A point in 3D space                                                 |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Material | A set of **parameters** that determines how the mesh will look like |
| Texture  | An **image** that determines how the mesh will look like            |
